The Growing Empowered PodcastDo you lead from shame?This episode is inspired by an incredible workshop I had the honour of listening to by David Bedrick.

The Vital Goddess3 Simple Body-Based Practices to Release Shame and Reclaim PleasureIn this week’s episode, I dive into a topic that I feel we all need to talk more about…Shame. The amount of shame that most humans carry is immense. And I feel that it’s at the root of so much suffering. Shame shuts us down.
