Have you ever gone into work when you were really sick? Or maybe you took the day off but you felt super guilty for it? 

Have you ever been mean to your body for not being able to do something? Maybe you have chronic pain or maybe it's simply a matter of not being used to doing certain tasks. 

These are all prime examples of toxic capitalism - shaming ourselves for not being able to do something that seemingly everyone else can do and devaluing ourselves as a result. 

In this episode, I share a story with you about my journey navigating a back injury and how it helped me deconstruct my own shame and self-worth about my body, my productivity, finances, and more.
