Mary B., (she/her/hers)
Episode #313
Due to experiences in her childhood, Kristen Pierce used to crave validation from others. Her experiences affected how she thought about herself and as a result, she constantly sought love, acceptance, and approval from other people.
But she learned that she is worthy exactly as she is, and in doing so let go of the need for external validation.
In the brilliant work of Dr. Brene Brown, she defines SHAME as the combination of FEAR + SILENCE.
It grows from negative experiences from your past that maybe you've deemed trivial and tried to forget.
It breeds feelings of "I am bad" instead of "I did something bad."
It makes you think "if they only knew ____________, they would surely reject me!"
Shame can be sneaky! It can show up for you as Imposter Syndrome in your professional life.
Self-sabotaging patterns of behavior in your relationships.
Brutally damaging self-talk and that you catch ringing through your parenting voice.
A crushing fear of not being PERFECT in all things!
So much so that you are even afraid to TRY!
