Podcasts about Shame

Failure is not a matter of if—it’s a matter of when. There will be moments when you speak too quickly, act impatiently, neglect wise counsel, or fall short of your own expectations. The real question isn’t whether you’ll fail. It’s how you’ll see yourself when you do. Isaiah 54:10 offers a powerful anchor: even if mountains move and hills disappear, God’s steadfast love will not depart from you. Your failures do not shake His covenant of peace. His compassion is not fragile. It is fixed. When we fail, we tend to drift toward one of two extremes: pride or shame. Pride tells us we can fix everything on our own. Shame tells us everything is ruined beyond repair. But both are lies. We were never meant to sustain ourselves apart from God. Apart from Christ, failure can feel crushing—especially if we tie our worth to roles like parenting, career, marriage, or ministry. But our identity was never meant to rest on performance. God knew every weakness we would wrestle with long before we were born. Yet He still formed us with purpose. Your mistakes do not erase your calling. They do not cancel your value. And they certainly do not rewrite your story. God holds the pen. His redemptive grace is stronger than your missteps. Failure is not the end of your story—it is often the place where you most clearly see His mercy at work. Main Takeaways Failure is inevitable, but it does not define your worth. God’s steadfast love does not depart when you fall short. Pride and shame both distort how we respond to failure. Your purpose is not erased by your mistakes. God’s grace and sovereignty hold your story securely. Today’s Bible Verse “‘For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,’ says the Lord, who has compassion on you.” - Isaiah 54:10 (ESV) Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “When we fail, help us refuse pride’s lies and silence shame’s voice, trusting that You are still writing our story.” Listen to the full prayer here.

347: Ever feel like your stomach is reacting before your brain even catches up? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Will Cole to talk about what is really going on with the gut brain connection and why your stress, shame, and even childhood trauma might be showing up as bloating, anxiety, brain fog, or inflammation. We get into his newest book, Gut Feelings, and unpack everything from the vagus nerve to “shame inflammation,” plus how chronic stress can spike inflammatory markers like interleukin 6.  If you have ever wondered why you can eat the same meal on vacation and feel fine, then eat it at home and feel wrecked, this one is for you. We are connecting the dots between your gut, your nervous system, your past, and your plate. And trust me, it is all connected. Topics Discussed: → How does stress affect gut health? → Can shame increase inflammation levels? → What is the gut brain connection? → Does alcohol damage the gut microbiome? → How does childhood trauma impact autoimmune disease?

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260225dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?” Genesis 3:11 Who Told You That? Before sin, Adam and Eve had nothing to hide. After sin, they were suddenly aware of their flaws. Shame entered the picture, and with it came a new voice telling them, you are not enough. God’s question exposes something important: shame doesn’t come from God. God didn’t tell them they were worthless, broken, or beyond hope. Sin did that. The lies did that. Those same voices are still loud today. You’re not good enough. You’ve failed too badly. If people really knew you, they wouldn’t accept you. God couldn’t love someone like you. God asks, “Who told you that?” The world defines us by success, appearance, and performance. Our own hearts replay regrets and failures. But God defines us differently. He sees sinners worth saving. He sees broken people worth dying for. The truth is, we are more flawed than we want to admit—but more loved than we ever imagined. Jesus didn’t come for people who had it all together. He came for people weighed down by shame. On the cross, Jesus took not just our sins, but our disgrace. He was mocked, rejected, and exposed so that we could be covered with forgiveness. When God looks at those who trust in Jesus, he doesn’t see shame. He sees his beloved children. So when the voices rise—when shame tries to tell you who you are—listen instead to the God who asks, “Who told you that?” Then hear what he tells you instead: You are forgiven. You are loved. You are mine. Prayer: Father, I confess that I listen to voices of shame instead of your truth. Forgive me for believing lies about myself and about you. Thank you for Jesus, who removes my guilt and gives me a new identity. Help me believe what you say about me. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Dear Friends,In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Doug Hilton, a counselor with over 30 years of experience supporting clients through trauma, addiction recovery, and couples/family dynamics, and a Certified Universal Healing Tao instructor who has integrated Qigong into his clinical practice for two decades. Doug is also the co-author (with Master Mantak Chia) of The Tao of Addiction and Recovery, a book that reframes addiction through a Taoist lens: not as a moral failure, but as a system-level imbalance—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.Together, we explore:- Why Doug describes addiction as an imbalance in the system, and how that insight emerged through Taoist training in Thailand- What Taoism is (and what it is not): a spiritual system rooted in living in harmony with nature, without dogma or forced belief- How addiction develops through natural human tendencies (adaptation, denial, pain avoidance) that can become exploited over time- The Taoist view of recovery as harmony over willpower, and why inner balance reduces the “need to medicate”- A practical, grounding Qigong entry point: breathing into the lower Dantian (“Where the mind goes, the chi follows”)- The Inner Smile Meditation and the elemental organ system—how sequencing (wood → fire vs. water → fire) supports balance- Doug's work bridging Western therapy and Taoist energetics: EMDR, trauma, and Taoist Emotional Recycling (TER)- A simple guided TER eye-movement practice you can try (when you are not driving) to support emotional clearing- Shame, guilt, relapse, and how restoring flow through the “garden hose” system of energy channels changes recovery outcomes- Why sexuality and sexual energy are often neglected in mainstream recovery—and how Taoist practices help integrate it with care- Doug also shares his personal journey—how Taoism “found him” long before he fully understood it—and why he believes this work matters not only for people facing addiction, but for anyone touched by it.Resources & LinksDoug Hilton: fullcirclehealing.caThailand program: balancerhehab.solutionsBook: The Tao of Addiction and Recovery Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness.

Intimacy isn't just sex—and for a lot of autistic and ADHD adults, dating can feel like a confusing set of unspoken rules that nobody will explain. In this episode of Adulting With Autism, host April sits down with Mandy Hart, a Certified Sexologist and founder of Hart's Desire—Intimacy and Relationship Coaching, for a candid, compassionate conversation about shame, consent, boundaries, and connection. Mandy blends behavioral science, public health, and trauma-empowered somatic coaching to help people reconnect with their bodies, build confidence, and create authentic intimacy on their own terms—whether that's with a partner, multiple partners, or solo. We talk about what it means to feel safe in your body, how to communicate needs and boundaries, how to discuss STIs without panic or shame, and how consent can be sexy, clear, and ongoing (not a checklist). In this episode, we cover: Intimacy vs. sex: expanding what "connection" can mean Shame and self-worth: how it shows up in dating and relationships "Safety in your body" and nervous system regulation Consent skills: how to ask, how to check in, and how to make it hot (not awkward) Neurodivergent dating: navigating cues, boundaries, and communication Asexuality, sensory needs, and relationships without partner sex STI disclosure and sexual health conversations with compassion Connect with Mandy Hart: Website: https://harts-desire.com/  Email: mandy@hearts-desire.com Book a free discovery call via the site Blog: Embodying Hart's Desire

Leah speaks openly about her previous encounter with Deepak Chopra and some other influencers in the spiritual and healing world in regards to the new information about their presence in the Epstein files.Spiritual bypassing, imposter syndrome, ego issues, abuse - the conversation goes into the many problems in the wellness and spiritual healing space. Fed up with being told what to do and how to do it by people who have just as many issues (or more) and in the case of the Epstein files, despicable behavior. How to maneuver through the teachings of wisdom and truth, and hold clear boundaries, while evolving through one's own spiritual journey. It's a bold and winding conversation - a testimony to the heart and truth - that is the goal of this message. To empower one to find their own way, and their own truth.  Thanks for listening!

In this powerful episode of The Midlife Sex Coach for Women, Dr. Sonia introduces the 4 R's framework for creating a new sexual self identity: Review, Reframe, Release, and Renew. If you feel stuck in old patterns around intimacy, desire, or connection, it may not be because you're broken—it may be because your nervous system is still carrying emotional weight from the past. Shame, guilt, resentment, anger, and sadness are often signals that something is still being held inside the body. And when we're holding onto the past, it becomes difficult to step into the version of ourselves we are trying to become. In this episode, you'll learn how to: Identify what still needs to be processed by noticing emotional triggers Review your past without replaying old pain Reframe past experiences with compassion (including forgiveness) Release emotional weight that keeps you guarded Renew your identity and step into your future sexual self This episode will help you gently let go of old stories, calm your nervous system, and begin practicing the identity of the woman who creates intimacy on purpose. ✨ Learn more about Dr. Sonia's programs and the Diamond Intimacy Collective:

402-521-3080In this conversation, Stephanie Olson and Rebecca Saunders delve into the controversial topic of ethical pedophilia, exploring the distinction between feelings and actions, the role of shame, and the societal implications of normalizing harmful desires. They discuss the importance of support systems for individuals struggling with these feelings while emphasizing the need for safeguards to protect children. The conversation highlights the complexities of identity and the dangers of acceptance in a context that could lead to harm. takeawaysEthical pedophilia is a controversial term that distinguishes between attraction and action.There is a significant difference between having harmful desires and acting on them.Shame can play a role in recognizing and addressing harmful desires.Normalizing harmful desires can lead to dangerous societal implications.Support systems should focus on preventing harm while acknowledging intrinsic value.Desires should not define a person's identity; actions do.Removing obstacles is crucial for individuals seeking help.The push for acceptance can lead to normalization of harmful behaviors.Children cannot consent, and their protection is paramount.Conversations about these topics are necessary but must be approached with caution.Chapters00:00 Understanding Ethical Pedophilia04:26 The Distinction Between Feelings and Actions07:09 The Role of Shame in Human Behavior12:32 The Push for Acceptance of Minor Attracted Persons15:45 The Growth of Identity and Its Implications16:50 Understanding the Complexity of Attraction18:02 The Role of Art and Expression in Attraction20:02 The Debate on Control and Responsibility21:03 Navigating Language and Terminology22:28 The Importance of Support and Prevention24:29 Safeguards and Professional Boundaries25:31 The Challenge of Identity Labels27:19 Minor Attracted Persons and Support Groups30:06 The Spectrum of Beliefs within the MAP Community34:17 Concluding Thoughts on Protection and Prevention35:12 R&R Outro.mp4Support the showEveryone has resilience, but what does that mean, and how do we use it in life and leadership?

One of the things that always amazed me about the songs that became big hits in the pop era between the 1950s and the 1990s was the sheer variety of musical styles that topped the charts. When doing research for this show I went into a bit of a spiral looking at Billboard charts for the late 1970s, and I got stuck on the summer of 1978, with the amazing wealth of songs that were in the top 20 at the time. Some of the songs, of course have fallen into the mists of time because they don’t get the oldies airplay anymore, and that’s a shame because there’s still some very good stuff there. This was the Top 20 chart for the week ending August 19, 1978 according to The Real American Top 40 Wiki page: Commodores – Three Times A Lady (↔) Frankie Valli – Grease (↔) Donna Summer – Last Dance (↔) Rolling Stones – Miss You (↔) Foreigner – Hot Blooded (↔) A Taste Of Honey – Boogie Oogie Oogie (↔) Pablo Cruise – Love Will Find A Way (↔) Barry Manilow – Copacabana (↔) Walter Egan – Magnet And Steel (↔) Andy Gibb – An Everlasting Love (↔) Olivia Newton-John – Hopelessly Devoted To You (↔) Joe Walsh – Life’s Been Good (↔) Toby Beau – My Angel Baby (↔) Atlanta Rhythm Section – I’m Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight (↔) Evelyn King – Shame (↑4) Exile – Kiss You All Over (↑2) Steve Martin – King Tut (↔) Chris Rea – Fool (If You Think It’s Over) (↑3) Earth Wind & Fire – Got To Get You Into My Life (↑10) Jackson Browne – The Load-Out/Stay (↔) Pretty much all of these songs, I wouldn’t mind listening to again. And that’s not always the case with songs at this level of the charts. (“Having My Baby,” anyone?) We have here a mix of disco, R&B, retro pop, ballads, a live track, a novelty song, a soundtrack title,  about a half-dozen well-established acts and three one-hit wonders (I’m not counting Steve Martin there because it’s a novelty). And they’re all at varying levels of “good”! All of this is prologue to the fact that Stevie Nicks was in the thick of the music industry for a three-year period, either as a writer, a lead or a backup singer. All of which cemented her in the musical firmament. If she’d done nothing else after 1979, she’d still be fondly remembered. But in addition to being all the things above, she was also a muse for several artists, much of which we’re covering in this episode. I bumped into some problems with regard to quantifying songs about her, but I did my best and I’d be curious to know what you may think I’ve overlooked, because there were a few I did research on and got nowhere.

00:00 Truly End the Cycle  05:48 Shame Ruined my life  07:20 Frequency and Vibration of Shame  12:27 Shame In Energetic Field 21:27 Dissolve Shame Practice  23:50 It Ends With ME Invitation    Many cycle-breakers try everything:  Avoiding relationships.  Endless solo healing.  Over-functioning.  Manifesting love or money but not being able to hold it.  And the reason the cycle doesn't fully end? Shame.  Shame is absorbed in narcissistic family systems, passed down through generations, and stored in the energetic field.  When shame is your dominant frequency, you can't hold love, safety, expansion, or healthy relationships — no matter how much “work” you've done.  In this podcast, I share the one thing that actually breaks the cycle — dissolving shame at the root.  you'll learn: 1. Why shame is the lowest frequency in the energetic field  2. Why shame is not who you are — and never was  3. How narcissistic family systems unconsciously keep shame alive through gaslighting and invalidation  4. A simple but powerful practice you can use today to stop absorbing shame and start dissolving it    This is Part 1 of a two-part series. Today we explore why dissolving shame is essential.    In the next podcast I'll show you how to fully end the cycle of shame — practically and energetically. Ready to stop repeating the pattern? This is the work we do inside my community IT ENDS WITH ME — a space for cycle-breakers healing shame in real relationship, not isolation. Inside the community we focus on: Healing the nervous system after emotional abuse Inner child healing and re-parenting Rewiring survival-based beliefs Creating love, safety, success, and family from the heart — not trauma patterns Join here :  

Stopping the shame spiral—what if the fastest way out isn't more willpower, but more compassion? In this episode of Alcohol Freedom Coaching, Coach Hayley supports Carol, a newly retired grandmother who felt “so far behind” after a vacation slip, and Coach Cole guides Nancy, a devoted mom caring for a daughter with complex special needs, who's learning to relax without wine and let go of “I should be doing more” guilt. Together, they model how to shift from self-blame to curiosity, build emotion-based goals (happiness, energy, motivation), and reconnect with support inside The Path. In Carol's session: Naming the belief: “I'm so far behind” vs. “I'm exactly where I'm meant to be.” Turning slips into data points—not identity—and choosing curiosity over criticism. Building emotion-based goals: happiness, energy, motivation as a north star. Breaking overwhelm: 15-minute re-entry (one video, one call, one journal prompt). Navigating travel and social events without defaulting to comparison or shame. Finding connection again: taking up space on calls even when you feel “not bad enough.” Practical reframe for 3 a.m. thoughts and night-after guilt. Tools for stopping the shame spiral after a vacation or wedding slip .…and more. In Nancy's session: Spotting guilt in the body (chest/shoulders tightness) and softening with micro-moments. Permission slips: letting older siblings help, one small experiment at a time. Replacing the 4 p.m. wine ritual with soothing, sensory evening routines. Distinguishing healthy guilt (course-correct) from toxic shame (self-attack). Creating a “treat” that isn't alcohol: porch time, breathwork, a few pages of a novel. Scripts to ask for help without apologizing for your needs.How curiosity interrupts ruminating about “not doing enough.” Practical ideas for stopping the shame spiral when responsibilities feel nonstop .…and more. Hayley Scherders is a certified TNM Coach with training from the Canadian Addiction and Mental Health Association.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260224dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?” Genesis 3:8-9 Where Are You? God knew exactly where Adam and Eve were. He knew they were hiding. He knew why they were afraid. So why ask the question? Because this wasn’t a question of location. It was a question of relationship. After sin entered the world, the first human instinct wasn’t confession—it was hiding. Shame does that. Guilt convinces us that if God really knew us, he wouldn’t want us. So, we hide behind excuses, distractions, or even religion. We stay busy. We avoid quiet moments. We tell ourselves we’ll deal with God later. But God doesn’t wait for sinners to come looking for him. He comes looking for them. “Where are you?” isn’t an angry shout. It’s a grieving invitation. God is saying, “Why are you hiding from the one who loves you?” Sin separates us from God, not because God stops loving us, but because fear replaces trust. That separation is something we can’t fix on our own. We can’t hide well enough, behave well enough, or promise to do better enough to restore what’s broken. That’s why God steps into our hiding place himself. In Jesus, God enters a world full of shame, fear, and brokenness. Jesus takes our guilt onto himself at the cross. He dies exposed, so we don’t have to hide anymore. He rises so that fear doesn’t get the final word. Christianity isn’t about working your way back to God. It’s about realizing God already came to you. If you’ve ever felt distant from God—because of regret, doubt, or failure—this question is for you: “Where are you?” Not to condemn you. But to bring you home. Prayer: God, I admit that I often hide from you when I’m afraid or ashamed. Thank you for seeking me instead of abandoning me. Thank you for Jesus, who removes my guilt and invites me back into your presence. Help me trust your grace and stop hiding. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

You know the moment. Your kid spills cereal and suddenly you're reacting at a level 10… when the situation was maybe a 2. And afterward? The shame spiral starts. Why did I react like that? What is wrong with me? Why can't I just stay calm? Here's the truth: your overreactions aren't random. And they're not proof that you're a bad parent. They have roots. Under most “overreactions” is either unrecognized shame… or a deeply held value that just got stepped on. When you understand that, everything shifts. In this episode, we unpack what's really happening beneath those big emotional moments — and how emotional awareness creates choice where you used to only have reaction. In This Episode, We Talk About: Why shame often hides underneath anger, defensiveness, or shutting down How feeling “too much” or “not enough” fuels emotional overreactions The surprising way your personal values drive your parenting triggers Why the same situation can upset you deeply — but not bother someone else at all How identifying patterns (not just isolated conflicts) helps you understand your reactions The CPR framework (Conflict, Pattern, Relationship, Process) and how to use it in your relationships How emotional awareness strengthens communication and self-regulation Why This Matters for Parenting When you believe your reactions are flaws, you try to suppress them. When you understand your reactions as information, you start learning from them. Shame thrives in the dark. Unmet values react loudly. But once you name what's actually happening — whether it's a fear of being “too much,” a value like growth or connection being violated, or a long-standing relational pattern — you gain power. You're no longer stuck in automatic self-judgment. You can pause. You can choose. You can respond instead of react. And that's emotional intelligence in action. This episode isn't about becoming perfectly calm. It's about becoming aware enough to understand yourself — and that changes everything in your parenting and your relationships.

Hour 2 of the Bob Rose Show, with liberal outrage against what were known as centrist Clinton democrats, being shunned by today's left the same as Conservatives. Plus, all of Tuesday morning's breaking news stories for 2-24-26

The Department of Transport and Human Settlements in KwaZulu-Natal has introduced a “Name and Shame” campaign targeting certain offenders, particularly those convicted of serious traffic violations such as drunk driving. Under this approach, the names of convicted offenders are publicly released as part of efforts to deter dangerous behaviour on the roads. The department argues that this tougher stance is meant to promote accountability, increase road safety, and send a clear message that reckless driving will have consequences beyond fines or jail time. Stacey and J Sbu posed this question: Is naming and shaming a necessary wake-up call or is it public humiliation? Here's what you had to say...

Dr. Rick and Forrest answer listener questions about the freeze state, ADHD, and power imbalances in relationships. First, they talk about how to deal with feelings of shame associated with the freeze state, emphasizing how we can “be with” in order to “work with.” Then they tackle a tricky question about how psychoeducation can complicate relationships. Next up, they discuss whether rates of ADHD have actually increased, and the differences between “real” ADHD vs. symptoms of screen addiction. Finally, they talk about how to think about the right fit with a therapist.  Key Topics:  0:00: Introduction 1:17: Question 1: Shame and the freeze state 19:12: Question 2: “My partner's lack of psychoeducation is frustrating me!” 33:56: Question 3: “Why does everyone have ADHD?” 46:21: Question 4: “What's the right amount of directness in therapy?” 56:01: Recap Support the Podcast: We're on Patreon!

There is nothing that the power of the resurrection cannot redeem in your life. - Fr. Shawn Monahan   Summary What do we do with the wounds we carry, especially in marriage? In this powerful episode, Fr. Shawn Monahan shares a trauma-informed vision of spirituality that meets us in our real stories. We're all wounded, some more deeply than others, and healing begins with honest self-knowledge, self-acceptance, and inviting Christ into our pain.  Fr. Shawn explains how our desires are shaped for good, how sin is seeking that good in the wrong ways, and why shame keeps us stuck. Christianity isn't behavior management. It's transformation through relationship.  You'll also hear practical wisdom for forgiveness, vulnerability, and praying with your spouse. If you're longing for renewal and lasting peace, this conversation offers real hope. Check out his free workshop, "The Path to Healing Our Broken Hearts."  Link below!   Key Takeaways We need a trauma-informed spirituality. Everyone carries wounds. Some are deeper than others. The Church must recognize this reality and respond with compassion, emotional awareness, and an understanding of how early experiences shape us. Healing begins with self-knowledge and self-acceptance. By becoming aware of our reactions and emotions, we grow in self-understanding. This allows us to accept ourselves and become a true gift to others. Desire is good, but it can be distorted. God gives good spiritual desires, and our human desires are also good. Sin happens when we pursue those good desires in the wrong ways. Shame blocks healing, but Christ redeems wounds. Christianity is about transformation through relationship, not behavior management. Nothing is beyond the power of the Resurrection. Forgiveness and vulnerability are essential in relationships. Forgiveness is a grace-filled choice, not a feeling. Real healing in marriage requires empathy, honest listening, asking "Will you forgive me?", and the courage to be vulnerable.   Couple Discussion Questions When you think about your own wounds, how do they show up in our marriage? Share one area where past hurts or early experiences may affect your reactions, fears, or desires. What helps you feel safe enough to open up about those places? What would forgiveness or vulnerability look like for us right now? Is there anything unspoken between us that needs to be brought into the light? How can we listen with empathy, ask "Will you forgive me?", and invite Jesus into that space together? Resources: FREE virtual workshop with Fr.

We got your messages shaming Vanessa for her Box of Shame story on Friday, so let's be clear: Vanessa did not kill a dog & we love her. If you continue sending death threats, feel bad. Especially because you are sending them to a child. In other news, Ally somehow lost her phone in a shopping cart at Target and Klein walked into an adult store and confidently purchased the viral “Rose,” which backfired.

Regret. Shame. Embarrassment. Discouragement.  All of these emotions you feel because of a bad decision you made at some point in your life.  You feel you have crossed that line, and you are convinced that God could never use you, but what we learn today is that is NOT TRUE!  Moses teaches us that God is the great Master Chess player and He can override with good anything we have ever done in our past!

You've read the books. Maybe you've done therapy. You've tried scheduled sex, date nights, "just doing it." And you're still stuck.Here's why: you've been trying to fix a layout problem with decorative solutions.In this episode, I break down the kitchen remodel analogy— why desire gaps need something very different than what most people try. You need a comprehensive, body-based approach, not another book, toy, date night, or conversation about the problem. I'll walk you through what most of you have tried, why it hasn't worked (not your fault), why it feels so deflating, and what actually does work for real human beings.This is for people who are exhausted, at their wit's end, and starting to wonder if it's even fixable. Spoiler: it is.

Guilt and shame are emotions many people carry quietly, often without realizing why they feel so painful or persistent. In this episode, Dr. Margaret Paul clarifies the essential difference between guilt and shame, and between their healthy and toxic forms. She explains how healthy guilt and shame help guide learning and change, while toxic guilt and shame are rooted in false beliefs about responsibility and self-worth. Gain practical insight into using guilt and shame as inner guidance rather than remaining trapped in self-judgment and repeated patterns.

Preaching: Ben ConachanAt Pearl Church, we seek to express a sacred story and extend a common table that animate—move, motivate, inspire—our lives by Divine Love. Very often we find ourselves animated not by love, but by all-too familiar counterfeits like shame, fear, guilt, duty, and control. In this sermon series, we look to the life of Jesus, who turns a gentle and compassionate face toward people caught up in these animations, creating space for us to listen for the voice of love that beckons even in our deepest wounds and darkness. For love is strong enough to embrace and integrate all these animations, making us whole.Pearl Church exists to express a sacred story and to extend a common table that animate life by love. A primary expression of our sacred story is the weekly sermon. If our sermons inspire you to ponder the sacred, to consider the mystery and love of God, and to live bountifully, would you consider supporting our work? You can donate easily and securely at our website: pearlchurch.org. Thank you for partnering with us in expressing this sacred story.

Every single week in my clinic, I see smart, motivated people stuck in their weight loss journey not because they're doing something wrong, but because they believe something wrong. The myths surrounding weight loss are so deeply embedded in our culture that even some physicians still repeat them. And the cost? Shame, delayed treatment, and people giving up on themselves unnecessarily. I've spent over a decade watching these myths do real damage and I'm done staying quiet about it. In this episode, I'm breaking down the top 5 weight loss myths I wish my patients would stop believing and replacing them with what the science actually says. If you've ever said "I just need more willpower" this episode is for you. Listen now!   Episode Highlights: Why "calories in, calories out" is an oversimplification of a complex metabolic system How metabolic adaptation explains why what worked before stops working Why obesity is a chronic, relapsing disease  The truth about weight loss medications and why using them is NOT cheating Why the scale is just data, not a report card, and what metabolic progress really looks like Why stopping everything after weight loss leads to weight regain, and what to do instead   Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd   About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

Confidence is not about loving how you look. It is about resilience, safety, and agency in eating disorder recovery. In this thoughtful and grounded conversation, Dr. Marianne Miller sits down with therapist, educator, and podcast host Rachelle Heinemann, LMHC, LPC @raquelleheinemann, to explore the deeper emotional and relational layers beneath body image distress and disordered eating. Rather than focusing only on surface-level body image strategies, this episode examines how confidence develops through resilience, meaningful connection, personal agency, and small intentional steps taken over time. Together, they discuss why traditional approaches to body image may feel incomplete, how unsafe environments can intensify negative body thoughts, and what it truly means to cultivate confidence in the context of eating disorder recovery. This conversation offers compassionate, clinically informed insight for anyone navigating body image struggles, low self-esteem, chronic disordered eating patterns, or the long path of healing. What We Explore in This Episode The relationship between body image, confidence, and disordered eating. Why confidence is better understood as resilience rather than appearance or personality. How safety, stress, and environmental context influence body image distress. The role of agency, assertiveness, and small achievable steps in recovery. Why meaningful, supportive relationships are foundational to confidence building. How deeper emotional needs often drive body image pain more than physical appearance. Practical ways to begin cultivating resilience in eating disorder recovery. A Different Way to Understand Confidence Many conversations about confidence center on visibility, charisma, or loving one's body at all times. In this episode, Raquelle offers a more compassionate and realistic framework: confidence as an internal, flexible resilience that can grow even when fear, uncertainty, or body image distress are still present. Through clinical stories and lived therapeutic insight, this discussion reframes confidence as something that develops through curiosity, connection, and repeated small acts of courage, rather than perfection or performance. About Rachelle Heinemann, LMHC, LPC Rachelle Heinemann is a licensed mental health counselor in New York and a licensed professional counselor in New Jersey. She specializes in working with individuals experiencing disordered eating, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She teaches courses on eating disorders and body image, provides continuing education for clinicians, and hosts the podcast Understanding Disordered Eating.

Have you ever brought your pain to your husband, only to be told "you're shaming me" — and did the conversation end right there? In this episode, Jay admits on camera that he knowingly used shame as a tactic to shut Lori down. Not because she was attacking him. But because it worked. We walk through 8 QUESTIONS about how shame operates in addiction and betrayal trauma — including the difference between legitimate shame that leads to change and illegitimate shame that becomes a hiding place. Jay also shares what he was actually protecting when he claimed he felt ashamed, and what belief about himself would have changed everything. If you've been told you're "shaming him" just for bringing up your pain, this one is for you. Questions we cover: When does legitimate shame stop being remorse and start becoming an excuse? Did Jay knowingly use "you're shaming me" to stop the conversation? What if shame over thinking you're a bad person actually makes you a bad person? What was he really protecting? What do wives misunderstand about how addicts use shame? Questions for the comments: Have you ever been told you were shaming him just for bringing up your pain? Does his shame look like the start of brokenness — or defensiveness?

In this sermon from Genesis 2:25–3:13, we explore the surprising first effect of sin in the Bible: shame.Before violence.Before injustice.Before death.There was hiding.Why does sin immediately lead Adam and Eve to cover themselves? Why do we still hide today? And why is it so hard to even talk about sin?This message unpacks:The difference between sin and sinningThe difference between guilt and shameHow shame traps us in cycles of isolationHow confession breaks the power of shameWhy the cross of Jesus is the only place shame truly diesDrawing from voices like Brené Brown, Curt Thompson, Karl Barth, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, this sermon invites us out of hiding and into healing community.If you've ever felt exposed, unworthy, or afraid of being truly known—this message is for you.There is no shame at the foot of the cross. Only forgiveness. Only grace. Only freedom.

What if the part of you you've been taught to fear isn't “wrong” — just human? In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, author Juno Thorne opens a brave conversation on faith, masculinity, and the quiet cost of silence. This episode is for men (and couples) carrying spiritual confusion or sexual shame, especially those shaped by purity culture. You'll hear a grounded distinction between attraction vs. objectification, why “doing everything right” can still feel like inner fracture, and a practical path toward integration — not suppression — so you can feel whole again. Episode Chapter: 00:04:45 — The question that cracks open the silence: desire, faith, and honesty 00:06:15 — “Marriage didn't fix it”: why attraction doesn't disappear 00:08:04 — The internal conflict: humanity vs. spiritual rules 00:10:23 — Attraction vs. objectification: where purity culture collapses nuance 00:12:33 — Feeling alive again: reclaiming youth, vitality, and wholeness 00:15:15 — First step toward integration: changing the belief, then retraining the body 00:20:17 — Stop silencing yourself: the freedom Juno calls “Sacred Freedom” About the Guest: Juno Thorne is the author of Sacred Freedom, exploring how purity culture can wound men and how faith, desire, and honesty can coexist. He shares his own long journey from internal dissonance to embodied freedom. Key Takeaways: Separate attraction from objectification: noticing beauty isn't the same as using someone. Expect “marriage will fix it” to fail — the real work is inner integration, not denial. Start by gently reshaping the belief: “There's nothing wrong with attraction.” Then retrain the body: repeated safe experiences reduce fear-based conditioning over time. Shame doesn't just change behavior — it can fracture identity and intimacy. Ask yourself: What part of me am I silencing instead of understanding?

What if addiction isn't a personal failure—but a survival strategy that got stuck on repeat? In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, recovery coach Craig Perra offers a gentler, sharper lens on tech addiction and the inner battles many people hide. This episode is for anyone who looks “fine” on the outside but feels fragmented inside—especially if willpower talk has only deepened shame. You'll hear how Internal Family Systems (parts work) reframes craving as protection, why “curiosity over control” can shift everything, and two practical first steps to begin—without trying to fix yourself overnight. About the Guest: Craig Perra is a recovery coach and co-creator of the Mindful Habits System. He shares a lived, values-based approach to change through parts work, mindfulness, and self-leadership. Episode Chapters: 00:06:21 — Why “tech addiction” is the focus 00:07:20 — Addiction as survival: replacing shame with curiosity 00:10:35 — The downside of fighting “a part of you” 00:12:00 — Hitting a crisis point and choosing a new path 00:13:17 — “Benefits of addiction”: numbing, coping, regulating 00:17:30 — Morals, integrity, and building real capacity to change 00:23:01 — Two gentle first steps: tools + talking to the reactive part Key Takeaways: Ask: “What's the benefit this habit is giving me right now?” Treat the reactive part like a younger self: firm, kind, curious. Use 3 questions: What are you trying to accomplish? What job are you doing? What are you afraid would happen if you stopped? Aim for values + capacity: integrity grows when the nervous system can handle change. Reduce “life friction” the way you'd reduce business friction—less stress, more choice.
