Summary

In this episode, I discuss two fundamental human needs: authentic expression and connection to others. Somewhere along the way, these two needs have been disrupted for many of us, resulting in immense shame and a pervasive feeling of unworthiness. I want to help you work toward getting beyond this shame so you can live a life that is in alignment with who you truly are. Shame instills a profound sense of unworthiness with us which causes us to hide and isolate our true selves from those around us. It is a self-perpetuating cycle and one that our capitalist economy reinforces easily. Our vulnerabilities are what connect us as human beings and it is time we step into the light and out of hiding. There is truly no separation among us as people, only that which we allow the mind to create.
