Framework of Wholeness: https://youtu.be/RMcHWViy_FU

Shame is one of the most powerful emotions we carry. It keeps us small, disconnected, and afraid to show up as who we truly are.

In this episode, I reveal the 4 levels of shame:

Cultural – The legacy of being Irish and colonized.

Religious & Childhood – Wounds from the church and school.

Masculine – The fear of stepping up as a man.

Inherited – The ancestral weight passed down through generations.

Shame is an aspect of a greater framework that I teach. If you would like to know more click the link below
