Word of the Month : Shame

In this series, Jan selects a word to focus on for each month, encouraging growth in a specific area and challenging herself and her audience. This year Jan will be focusing on the difficult words we tend to tie to ourselves, offering insight and tools to manage or overcome these obstacles. This month, the focus is on shame. Jan explores the complex emotions of shame and guilt, particularly in the context of trauma and personal growth. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the difference between guilt, which can be a healthy motivator for change, and shame, which often stems from societal standards and personal trauma. Jan shares her insights on how to transform shame into a path for healing through self-compassion, setting achievable goals, and fostering deeper connections with oneself and others. The discussion encourages listeners to recognize their worth and to approach their emotional struggles with kindness and understanding.
