What's up, Batty Bees? I'm Brianna, mom, wife, serial entrepreneur, and host of the badass basic bitch podcast. Each week, I sit down with a seemingly ordinary woman who's doing extraordinary

things and I get to share her story with you. So let's go. Buckle up as we're going to get real

and dive into the shit nobody talks about. Welcome to the Batty B Club.

One of my favorite quotes is we suffer from a thousand tragedies of which only occur in our imagination.

And this is what Shane does.

We have this whole life in our imagination, building up these stories and these conversations and what we anticipate people

Well, why don't we start by learning a little bit more about you? Tell the listeners more about you and what you do.

I am a licensed psychologist in Spokam, Washington, and I've been in the mental health field for 30 years now.

So in the last four years, I have jumped into a bigger platform, and I'm now public speaking and teaching, having online courses, my podcast, and just really

bringing the message of hope and healing to folks that don't yet know that there is hope for all

of us. I love that. And let's start. What is shame? Shame. Shame. Okay, so I'm going to begin

by talking about the difference between guilt, shame, and toxic shame? Shame. Shame. Okay, so I'm going to begin by talking about the difference between guilt,

shame, and toxic shame. Okay. So guilt is a personal conviction. It is something that we feel when we violate
