Shame spiral

Suzanne shares insights on navigating the 'shame spiral' triggered by negative feedback or reactions, especially for creators and business owners. Drawing from her personal story presented in her book and reflecting on experiences dating back to her childhood, Suzanne discusses the impact of unsolicited and sometimes harsh feedback. She uses an anecdote from when she was eight, detailing a school project that initially filled her with pride but led to embarrassment after peer criticism. Suzanne emphasises the importance of embracing one's passions and interests regardless of others' opinions, highlighting the universality of shame spirals and the significance of resilience and self-acceptance in overcoming them. Further, she encourages listeners to share their work and passions boldly, underscoring that for every critique, there is a community of silent supporters.
