Shame and Self-Love

It's rarely one moment. It's a hundred small ones, each time you didn't measure up to an expectation you thought someone had of you, until that becomes the story you tell about yourself.In this episode, Erica explores how shame quietly shapes our inner critic, how it fuels perfectionism, and how it keeps us small. She weaves together Brené Brown's research with the real stories of women in the Summer of Self-Love series, including a romance novelist whose creativity was crushed by one negative review, a woman whose inner critic nitpicked every meeting and every mirror, and a woman who played small for years rather than risk being seen failing.This is part of the ongoing Summer of Self-Love series exploring women's complicated relationships with self-love and self-criticism through the lens of Human Design.Read the Substack article here: Shame and Self-LoveBook your Life Patterns Review here.Follow me on Substack: https://substack.com/@ericavoellConnect with me: erica[at]ericavoell[dot]comFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ericavoell.coaching/
