Summary

Not all shame is bad. There is healthy shame and toxic shame. I breakdown the difference between the two and how each one shows up in our lives. I also talk about how healthy shame can turn into toxic shame. At the end of the episode I give you some journaling prompts to start working with your shame.

experiences that we have, but it's also one of the most powerful when it comes to holding us

for really powerful and healthy relationships. So whether you are single, whether you are
