SHAME HEALING | To Live Your Full Expression with Sarah Lajeunesse

In this enlightening episode, I welcome Sarah, a certified and award-winning coach, leadership mentor, international speaker, and "shmealer" (shame healer). Sarah delves deep into the concept of shame, explaining how it distorts our self perception and prevents inner freedom. She emphasises that shame is not rooted in truth but in old feelings of inadequacy that create barriers to personal and professional growth. Sarah explores what shame looks like and discusses the severe consequences of not addressing it in both personal and professional contexts. She provides a historical and ancestral lens to understand the origins of shame, highlighting how deeply ingrained it can be in our psyche. The episode examines the strong link between shame and perfectionism and discusses the differences in how men and women experience shame. Sarah also addresses the external societal messages that perpetuate shame and its impact on our perception of aging, fuelling an unattainable quest for youth. We discuss practical steps to become more empowered and step into your full potential, viewing shame as a spiritual crisis that needs healing. Sarah connects shame to other emotional struggles such as resentment, anxiety, regret, and depression, and shares her personal journey of finding freedom through releasing shame. Our discussion also highlights the importance of mentorship and community in overcoming shame, highlighting the liberating power of support in this transformative soul work. Thank you Sarah for shining a light on shame and helping others embrace a life of growth and empowerment.  GUEST @sarah.lajeunesse Work with Sarah HOST  @tarraleerullo Subscribe to cosmic monthly newletter About Tarra Lee Books references mentioned in the episode.
