Episode 30 - Shame, Humiliation & the Leadership Gift We Overlook

from Becoming Her · host Jeanetta Bodie

Episode 30 – Shame, Humiliation & the Leadership Gift We OverlookIn this raw and deeply personal episode of Becoming Her, Jeanetta Bodie explores the difference between embarrassment, true shame, and toxic shame—and why our fear of them so often keeps us from taking risks. Through candid storytelling, she shares moments from her own life and leadership, from closing her yoga studio to a recent string of humbling mishaps, unpacking how shame can either isolate us or lead us toward humility, self-awareness, and deeper connection.With insights from authors Chip Dodd and Parker Palmer, Jeanetta reframes shame as a potential teacher rather than a sentence. She offers practices for processing it—both in solitude and in the safety of a trusted community—and connects it to Soma Moon’s vision for regenerative leadership: leading from wholeness, rhythm, and inner alignment.If you’ve ever carried the sting of humiliation, wrestled with self-worth, or wondered how to lead without abandoning yourself, this episode is a gentle but unflinching guide.What You’ll Hear in This Episode:* The difference between embarrassment, true shame, and toxic shame* Why shame is so tied to our ego—and how to shift from “I am a mistake” to “I made a mistake”* Personal stories of humility and self-forgiveness from Jeanetta’s own leadership journey* The role of nervous system awareness in processing shame* How community can hold space for the soul without judgment* An introduction to Soma Moon’s regenerative leadership approach* Invitation to join the free Soma Circle Pilot on August 20th and Soma Leadership CoachingMentioned in this episode:* The Voice of the Heart by Chip Dodd* A Hidden Wholeness by Parker Palmer* “Part of Me” by Collie BuddzResources & Ways to Connect:* Website: somamoonwellness.com* Substack: Subscribe for updates and reflections* Instagram: @somamoonwellness* Questions or requests?
