756 | How Is Shame Blocking You?

Welcome back to the show! In this episode, we delved deep into the topic of shame and its profound impact on our growth in life and business. We explored how shame, often overlooked and suppressed, can manifest as a gremlin within us, affecting our self-perception and identity. Shame, distinguished from guilt, is centred on the belief that "I am bad" rather than "I did something bad." This distinction is crucial as attaching "I am" to negative beliefs can lead to a deep-rooted sense of unworthiness and flaw within ourselves. We discussed how shame thrives on secrecy, silence, and judgment, perpetuating a cycle of self-criticism and isolation. Drawing from personal experiences and working with high-performing women in business, we highlighted the insidious nature of shame, even in the face of external success. Despite their achievements, these women grappled with underlying shame stories that threatened their sense of worthiness and competence. We emphasized the transformative power of vulnerability in releasing shame. By giving voice to our shame stories, we can break free from its grip and foster connection and empathy. Through practices like subconscious reprogramming, EFT tapping, and hypnosis, we can rewrite limiting beliefs and empower ourselves to embrace vulnerability as a superpower.
