I'm on a journey to get better in all areas of life from wellness and mental health to career and relationships and so much more

I know getting better isn't easy, but it's a whole lot easier when you can do it together

Welcome to better together with me Maria Menunos

Hello, hello everybody. Welcome to better together. Well, you know better. You get better

That's our goal here every single day. Get a great show for you today. Very excited. I'm gonna talk trauma and shame

How to heal all of those things with

The great Brian Mayhan who has been working with me for the last year

Since uh, it's been a year. I started really kind of coming apart when I was losing my mom and it has been a year

Which is crazy. So we're gonna chat with him

But first our quote of the day shame is ubiquitous in the human experience

It's practically human nature

Beyond a shadow of a doubt one thing

I know that you and I have in common is shame and we have and we want to have shame

It's not necessarily always about thing if we didn't have healthy shame

We would all be sociopaths and there would be no rule of law
