The Reclamation

Episode 17: The Silent Weight of Shame – Reclaiming Your Divine Feminine Embodiment

Paula Collins Episode 17

Shame is one of the most insidious emotions we carry—often in silence and isolation. In this deeply personal and healing episode, Paula opens her heart and shares her own journey with shame: how it crept into her body, her thoughts, her soul—and how it disconnected her from the radiant expression of her Divine Feminine essence.

Together, we explore:

  • What shame feels like in the body and how it gets stored
  • The mental patterns shame creates: self-doubt, hypervigilance, perfectionism
  • The spiritual cost of shame: feeling disconnected, unworthy, and unseen
  • Why shame silences our voice, dims our light, and stifles our joy
  • Paula’s sacred story of overcoming shame and finding her way home
  • Practices for release: sound healing, storytelling, inner child work, ceremony
  • The liberating truth: you were never meant to carry this shame

This is a love letter to every woman who has felt too much, not enough, or unworthy. It’s time to return to your sacred self—softly, gently, and powerfully.

🎧 Tune in, breathe deep, and remember: Your shame does not define you. Your healing does.
