Shame lurks in the shadows of our minds, whispering that we’re not enough, unlovable, or damaged beyond repair. But what if those whispers are lies — and there’s a better way?

In this intimate episode of Shame-Free Sundays, I share a personal moment that brought my own shame spiral front and center: a livestream gone wrong. As a trauma therapist, I often help others navigate self-blame, but even I’m not immune to the voice that says, “You messed up. You always mess up.”

What I do with that voice, though, is where the healing happens.

Join me as I unpack the difference between healthy self-correction and toxic shame, and how a simple tool — like my visual reminder Harmony the Bear — helped me walk through a tough moment with grace instead of condemnation. We’ll explore the intersection of faith and therapy, and what it means to untangle our worth from our performance.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt defective, stuck in self-blame, or afraid to try again. The truth is, you’re not broken. You’re becoming.
