What happens when you've accomplished everything you thought would finally make you feel worthy, and it still isn't enough?

Season 2 of Shedding the Shame starts with this deeply moving conversation. Tami sits down with bestselling author, leadership coach, and Embrace Global co-founder Jane Chen to explore the hidden shame that can fuel achievement, perfectionism, and burnout.

Jane shares the incredible story behind Embrace, the portable infant warmer that has helped save more than one million babies around the world. But behind the accolades, recognition from President Obama, and global success was a woman quietly carrying childhood trauma, believing she had to constantly prove her worth.

We talk about how unresolved pain shapes the way we lead, love, parent, and work, why productivity can become a form of numbing, and what finally helped Jane begin healing after years of pushing herself beyond exhaustion.

Together, we discuss:
• Why so many high achievers secretly struggle with feeling "not enough"
• The connection between childhood trauma, perfectionism, and burnout
• How Internal Family Systems (Parts Work) helped Jane develop self-compassion
• The courage it takes to confront generational trauma
• Why belonging isn't something we find, but something we build within ourselves
• How healing ourselves changes future generations

Jane's message is simple but profound: You are enough exactly as you are.

Whether you've experienced childhood trauma, struggle with people-pleasing, or simply feel like your worth is tied to what you accomplish, I hope this conversation reminds you that healing is possible and that you're not alone.
