Summary

Join Erin and her guests, as they delve into what it means to be a child of a narcissistic parent. Each fortnightly episode is crammed full of honesty, humour and hope. I know many people who detest swearing. I’m not one of them. I don’t swear to intentionally offend, upset or embarrass someone. But, I believe there are far uglier, more offensive and degrading words than the ones in my pirate vocabulary. One of the nastiest words - in my opinion - isn’t even a four letter word. It has five letters. SHAME. I carried that word and everything that goes with it, like a rucksack filled with rocks, for the majority of my life. That load was HEAVY! The good news is that I don’t carry it anymore. When I realised (and believed) that all of that stuff happened TO me…not BECAUSE of me…I could finally take off the rucksack of shame. My rejoicing doesn’t end there. I have gone one giant leap further. I decided to flip it! I now say, out loud and with conviction, “SHAME ON YOU!” Go on! Say it! Place the blame and shame where it rightfully belongs. They aren’t yours to carry.

Episode Description

Join Erin and her guests, as they delve into what it means to be a child of a narcissistic parent. Each fortnightly episode is crammed full of honesty, humour and hope.

I know many people who detest swearing. I’m not one of them. I don’t swear to intentionally offend, upset or embarrass someone. But, I believe there are far uglier, more offensive and degrading words than the ones in my pirate vocabulary.

One of the nastiest words - in my opinion - isn’t even a four letter word. It has five letters.

SHAME.

I carried that word and everything that goes with it, like a rucksack filled with rocks, for the majority of my life. That load was HEAVY!

The good news is that I don’t carry it anymore. When I realised (and believed) that all of that stuff happened TO me…not BECAUSE of me…I could finally take off the rucksack of shame. My rejoicing doesn’t end there. I have gone one giant leap further. I decided to flip it! I now say, out loud and with conviction,

“SHAME ON YOU!”

Go on! Say it! Place the blame and shame where it rightfully belongs. They aren’t yours to carry.
