082 - I'm not ok.... Unshaming Our Emotions

In this episode, I share a very real moment from my own life—sitting across the dining room table from Ben, trying to hold back tears, and finally saying the words I was most afraid of: “I’m not okay.”Shame tells us that to be strong, we must be silent. That emotions make us weak. That needing love, support, or safety makes us “too much.” But the truth is the opposite: when we unshame our emotions, they stop holding us hostage and start becoming the very currents that free us.Together we’ll explore:✨ Why shame thrives in silence—and why naming it is liberation✨ How Brené Brown’s research on shame meets the spiritual truth of emotional alchemy✨ The role of Gene Key 55 in our collective movement from victimisation to freedom✨ What it really takes to create safety in our bodies, our relationships, and our livesThis isn’t just about healing shame for ourselves—it’s about rewriting the story for the next generation.Because needing is not weakness.Needing is human.And when we allow ourselves to feel, we don’t just heal—we give everyone around us permission to do the same.Dawn LuchtFounder of The Heart-Full AcademyShadow & Wild One Guide ✩ Substack - https://substack.com/@dawnlucht✩ The New Dawn Podcast -https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-new-dawn-podcast/id1538188624 ✩ Coaching - https://www.dawnlucht.com/mentoring.html✩ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dawnlucht_✩ Website - www.Dawnlucht.com
