Shame vs. Guilt: Why Knowing the Difference is Important

This episode explores the crucial difference between shame and guilt, drawing on Brené Brown’s research to explain how shame says "I am a mistake" while guilt says "I did something wrong." Host Jill Pack shares personal stories from motherhood and coaching, and offers practical steps—name the feeling, regulate your nervous system, ask the guilt question, and bring in a compassionate witness—to move from shrinking to repair. Designed for women of faith navigating family and faith transitions, the episode offers short, actionable tools to replace shame with growth, self-compassion, and connection.
