Not My Shame: Daniela Tilbrook on Breaking Silence and Reclaiming Power

In this powerful conversation, Daniela Tilbrook shares the heart and motivation behind her book Not My Shame. She opens up about the crushing weight of carrying shame for something you could never have prevented, and the fear of what might happen if the truth were ever known.

For Daniela, breaking her silence was both terrifying and liberating.  The first time she spoke about her trauma was the first step toward reclaiming her power. In this episode Daniela, Jo Groves and I explore the freedom that comes from letting go of secrecy, the complicated path of forgiveness, and the courage it takes to connect with others in vulnerability.

We dive into post-traumatic growth, the healing that comes from helping others by sharing your story, and the crucial difference between responsibility and fault. Daniela reminds us that taking ownership of your healing journey is not about blame, it’s about growth, contribution, and valuing yourself enough to step into the life you deserve.

This episode is for anyone who has carried the weight of silence, questioned their worth, or wondered if healing is possible. Daniela’s story is proof that not only is healing possible, it can transform pain into purpose.
