263. Flipping the Script on Shame, Guilt, and Your Past
There are the things people can see on the surface, and then there are the things that live underneath, the stuff that feels too heavy or too messy to name out loud. This episode digs into the quiet weight of shame and guilt, the parts of ourselves we think disqualify us from being powerful.
Join Anna and Tim as they unpack what it means to look at your life without fear of the dark corners. They talk about the difference between a rap sheet and a resume, how past mistakes can become strength, and why the things a person has survived are often the real markers of capability. This conversation moves through discomfort, honesty, and the unexpected liberation that comes from telling the truth about your own history.
This Episode Covers:
- The tension between who people see and who someone feels they really are.
- How guilt and shame shape identity and influence behavior.
- Looking at your past through the lens of resilience instead of failure.
- The power of owning your story without apology.
- How lived experience becomes credibility and clarity.
- Why vulnerability can feel risky but creates deeper connection.
- The difference between being defined by your past and being informed by it.
- What it means to rewrite the meaning of your own experiences.
