Is there a chance that what you’re shaming yourself for may just be a normal human experience?

On today’s episode, Steph & Craig find themselves unpacking the difficult emotion of shame.

Craig shares a recent epiphany he had regarding shame and how what he was ashamed of doing was in fact, something that everyone does on a regular basis.

If you struggle with a negative inner voice or feel like you get stuck in a shame spiral, this episode will hopefully shed some light on what might just be, normal human behavior.
