from Untethering Shame · host Kyira Wackett
In this episode, I respond to a question from an anonymous listener who writes:“I’ve made so many decisions based on what I thought I ‘should’ do. I’m trying to live by my values now, but I feel lost. Where do I even start?”We explore the messy, brave, and often disorienting process of untangling your identity from the “shoulds” you've inherited — and beginning the work of living by your own values. Inside this episode, we’ll talk about:How shame shapes our early decision-makingThe grief and confusion that can surface when we stop performing and start aligningHow to identify your values when you’ve lost touch with themPractical ways to rebuild a life that feels like your ownIf you’ve ever felt like you built a life that looks good on paper but doesn’t feel like you — this episode is for you.📝 Want to submit a question for a future episode?Nothing is off-limits (well, almost nothing).Submit anonymously or with your name — whatever feels safest for you.👉 https://forms.gle/1uYJ87Y2Vag6KYCeA🧠 If this episode spoke to you, share it with someone who might need it.
