In this episode of Becoming Unapologetically Me, host Helen Norbury engages in a profound conversation with Jesse Glaze about the complex emotion of shame, inspired in part by Brené Brown's work. Together, they explore how shame functions as a protective mechanism in childhood but often hinders adult growth and joy. Jesse shares her personal journey and professional expertise in psychology, somatics, and trauma-informed coaching to discuss how “unshaming” allows for greater self-trust and personal development. They delve into childhood experiences, the impact of shame on the nervous system, parenting approaches, and actionable steps to break free from self-imposed limitations. The discussion highlights practical strategies, like taking small steps and seeking supportive communities, to navigate and heal from shame.
