This episode is a re-air as it was a favorite!

Join me in this episode around shame as I sit down with David Bedrick to reframe shame as an internalized witness that dismisses our lived experience, then trace how that shows up as mom guilt, perfectionism, and self-fixing. We practice unshaming the energies underneath yelling, tiredness, and boundary-setting so the parent-child relationship stays real instead of performative.

• shame as an internalized witness that denies and gaslights experience
• how trauma stories disappear under “what’s wrong with me” narratives
• why “mom guilt” often signals inner violence rather than values
• saying the inner critic out loud to make it tangible and answerable
• unshaming anger and the energy beneath yelling
• tiredness and late nights as needs for rest, freedom, and meaning
• why the healing industry’s “make it go away” model backfires
• relationship over perfection as the core of resilient parenting
• boundaries as an organic impulse that shame suppresses
• inner boundaries that protect you from self-attack
