Hey all welcome back to the Don't Mom Alone podcast. I am your host and fellow traveler Heather McFadian.

And this is the place where I connect you with people and resources to remind you that you are not alone.

In this special bonus episode we are focusing in on not being alone in our shame.

And the gal who's going to help guide us through that is the amazing Sheila Walsh.

She has been on the show before make sure you check out her episodes.

She's also an author, speaker, TV host, musician, and she's written a great book called It's Okay Not To Be Okay.

In this episode you will notice that it is a special version of a video chat.

We recorded months ago with our not alone community.

So there are questions that we answer from those community members.

And my amazing producer Rachel has taken a 30 minute conversation and shortened it to 15 minutes.

If you want to hear the entire conversation you can go over to Don't Mom Alone.com for its last join.

And check out how to sign up for our not alone community.

So you can join us for future chats and you get access to all the videos that we've already recorded.

One's with my mentor Leslie Johnson, last week's episode with Kay Weima.

And in January my conversation that I recorded with Kat Lee.

But back to shame.

You know this podcast used to be called the God-centered bomb podcast.

And it is still a desire of my heart to help y'all be centered on the truth of who God says you are.

So that you can move forward in parenting not from a place of shame but from a place of freedom.

And I love how Sheila guides us in the truth of God's word.

She vulnerability shares her story of struggling in her relationship with her dad.

Not believing that a heavenly father could love her just as she is.
