Ever felt paralyzed by an invisible weight, one that whispers of inadequacy and drowns out your triumphs with a focus on flaws? You're not alone. I'm Sally, and in a deeply personal and transformative discussion, I'm gonna address the gnawing emotion of shame—how it distorts our self-image and hinders our journey to self-acceptance. We'll dissect the nuances between shame and guilt with insight from Brené Brown's groundbreaking research, and I'll share my own struggles with societal expectations regarding marriage, children, and career. Through heartfelt conversation, we open the door to cultivating empathy and vulnerability, essential tools in loosening shame's grip.
In this episode, we'll look at some of the common triggers of shame, the damaging impact shame can inflict on your body and offer up 12 strategies to foster a kinder internal dialogue, emphasizing the practical steps that we can take to stop playing the shame game in our life.
Our quote at the end of this episode comes from Kilroy J. Oldster who flips the script on the way we can look at shame.
“Shame and self-loathing has its upside. Without despising oneself, a person might delay ascending to a heightened degree of self-consciousness. Taking the first step towards redemption requires a tremendous commitment and much willpower.”
