Sarah explores what shame looks like and discusses the severe consequences of not addressing it in both personal and professional contexts.
She provides a historical and ancestral lens to understand the origins of shame, highlighting how deeply ingrained it can be in our psyche.
The episode examines the strong link between shame and perfectionism and discusses the differences in how men and women experience shame.
Sarah also addresses the external societal messages that perpetuate shame and its impact on our perception of aging, fuelling an unattainable quest for youth.
We discuss practical steps to become more empowered and step into your full potential, viewing shame as a spiritual crisis that needs healing.
Sarah connects shame to other emotional struggles such as resentment, anxiety, regret, and depression, and shares her personal journey of finding freedom through releasing shame.
Our discussion also highlights the importance of mentorship and community in overcoming shame, highlighting the liberating power of support in this transformative soul work.
