Summary

Shame can be a pervasive and isolating experience, but by examining your relationship with shame more closely, you can gain the tools to understand better and transform it. When you’re experiencing shame, it’s important to ask yourself a series of thoughtful questions designed to break down shame’s hold over you. These questions begin by addressing the specifics of a situation, identifying your feelings about the situation, and acknowledging the story you’re telling yourself about the situation. Recognizing the stories that fuel your shame can be the first powerful step toward reframing them in a way that aligns with your true values and goals. When you challenge shame with curiosity, asking yourself, “What else is true in this situation?”, “What is mine to own here?”, and “What is not mine to own here?”, you can more accurately assess how you want to untangle your shame in order to move forward from it with valuable lessons learned. By considering both responsibility and release, you can find a path to emotional clarity and identify whether apologies or reconciliations might be necessary steps for growth. If you are carrying shame, it’s important to understand how it is holding you back and acknowledge how releasing it will free you. In this episode, you will learn how to rewrite your stories and reframe your narratives around shame in order to move forward with a more compassionate, supportive, and productive inner dialogue. Ultimately, reframing your shame and releasing its stronghold on you will allow you to be a more resourceful and resilient leader. We love the sponsors that make this show possible!

0:18.0	Welcome to Shameless Leadership. I'm your host, Sarah Dean. This show is for women, transgender people, non-binary folks, as well as allies, who are committed to advancing their leadership while also advancing the leadership of those around them. In each episode, we will offer practical tips, leadership strategies, and inspiring stories to help you become a more
0:38.6	confident, compassionate, and inclusive leader. The truth is, you were born to lead. What might
0:44.5	happen for you if you were to wholeheartedly embrace that part of yourself? So let's start now,
0:49.5	together. Hello, shameless leaders. Today we're going to talk about shame, which is a fun topic to talk about when you have a podcast
0:57.2	called shameless leadership, right?
0:59.4	It seems very fitting.
1:01.0	And I'm excited to talk about this because I think that shame is one of those emotions that
1:05.5	we just don't talk about a lot, but most of us have feelings of shame around something in our life. And when I
1:13.1	actually started talking about shame and centering my podcast episodes around early on in the
1:18.7	Shameless Mom Academy, now currently in shameless leadership, the way that I've always thought about
1:23.3	shame is with this idea that I'm willing to own what's mine, but I'm not going to own what's
1:29.6	not mine. And how can I move through the world in a way where I take responsibility for the
1:35.9	things that are mine to own, but I don't let them hold me back in terms of carrying shame
1:41.1	and staying small because it's too important that I can go into the world and do the
1:46.8	important work that I meant to do as a woman, as a mom, as a leader, as a, you know, as a podcaster,
1:52.4	as a speaker, as someone who wants to be an involved community member. It's too important to do all that
1:58.3	to be able to give shame too much space in my life. And I recognize
2:02.4	if I let shame take up too much space in my life, it will hold me back from doing all the
2:06.3	things where I can actually have impact. And so this is something I've had to revisit, you know,
