In this episode, I talk about shame, what it feels like, how it's normal to feel shame, and why shame is especially harmful to women and folks in marginalized communities. Do you find yourself making yourself smaller because you don't want to make people around you uncomfortable for taking the spotlight? As folks of color, we've been taught our whole lives that we aren't enough and don't measure up to the mainstream. So that's why it's even more imperative for us to combat shame and to take back the spotlight. Shine and shine brightly. I offer some antidotes to shame, including getting pissed and fierce AF (in Beyonce fashion), changing our thoughts about shame and ourselves, and giving ourselves extra doses of love and compassion.
