Shame is sneaky—it hides in our goals, our relationships, and even in our desire for growth. In this episode, Crystal Haitsma joins us to unpack the silent but powerful impact of shame on how we parent, pursue success, and show up in the world. Learn the difference between guilt and shame, how it hides beneath our triggers, and the surprising way it affects your subconscious beliefs (and your kids’). This isn’t just about awareness—it’s about liberation.
✔️ The hidden signs that shame is running the show—even if you don’t realize it
✔️ How shame silently blocks goal achievement and meaningful relationships
✔️ Why emotional triggers are your greatest teachers
✔️ The antidote to shame and how to practice it daily
If you’ve ever felt not-enough, too-much, or unsure why you’re stuck in patterns you can’t break, this episode will bring clarity, compassion, and powerful tools to help you move forward.
