In today’s episode, we tackle the heavy topics of shame and guilt and how they impact our lives. Highlighting a unique perspective as a criminal defense attorney, this episode sheds light on how these feelings can affect our lives and identities. While guilt is connected to our actions, shame is a much deeper issue that attacks our self-worth.
With insights from Dr. Brené Brown, I articulate the critical difference between guilt and shame: “Guilt is I did something bad; shame is I am bad.” This simple yet profound distinction reveals how shame can lead to a cycle of negative self-talk and emotional paralysis. There is Hope! I get to share practical strategies to break free from the shame spiral, including the power of vulnerability, empathy, and self-compassion. By sharing our stories and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable, we can start to dismantle the grip of shame. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by shame or guilt, this episode is a must-listen. It’s a powerful reminder that healing is possible and that we all deserve compassion and understanding.
