Shame is what festers deep within us, desperately calls for our attention, but gets stuffed back in for fear of it showing…shame is the internalized beliefs telling us that we’re bad at our core, unworthy of love, attention and belonging. Shame has us feeling we do not deserve good things, that chance is the reason behind them, that they will all disappear once people figure us out and find out how bad we really are.

Shame can be toxic, if we cling to it and live life through its lens, but it does not have to be a life sentence…
Self-compassion is the antidote to shame, but it is not as simple as repeating mantras while looking in the mirror, willing love onto yourself. Self-compassion is a byproduct of building enough resources to go on a courageous deep dive into your self, meet shame face to face, accept it and learn all about it, especially what it has to tell you…
