What if shame isn't a flaw, but a signal that something essential in you has been pushed away? In this week's episode, Aimee sits with David Bedrick, therapist, author of The Unshaming Way, and a passionate advocate for psychological truth-telling. They explore how shame disconnects us from our experience, distorts our emotions, and shapes our identities from the inside out. Through somatic awareness, storytelling, and radical compassion, David invites us into the process of unshaming—not fixing ourselves, but fully witnessing and embracing the parts we've exiled.David takes us through:- Why shame cuts us off from empathy, truth, and genuine accountability- How trauma and unacknowledged pain become embedded in the body- The power of somatic language to access “unshamed experience”- What it means to witness, rather than fix, someone in pain- Why reclaiming emotion, desire, and personal narrative is essential to healing- How unshaming returns us to wholeness and expands our capacity to love, feel, and actAnd so much more!David Bedrick, JD, Dipl. PW, is a teacher, counselor, and attorney. He grew up in a family marked by violence. While his father's brutality was physical and verbal, his mother's denial and gaslighting had its own covert power. This formative context introduced David early to the etiology of shame and instilled an urge to unshame.Professionally, he was on the faculty for the University of Phoenix and the Process Work Institute in the U.S. and Poland, and is the founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame-based Studies, where he trains therapists, coaches, and healers and offers workshops for individuals to further their own personal development.David writes for Psychology Today and is the author of three books: Talking Back to Dr. Phil: Alternatives to Mainstream Psychology and Revisioning Activism: Bringing Depth, Dialogue, and Diversity to Individual and Social Change. His new book is You Can't Judge a Body by Its Cover: 17 Women's Stories of Hunger, Body Shame and Redemption.His new book, The Unshaming Way, was published by North Atlantic books in November 2024.Connect with David:Website: https://www.davidbedrick.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/david.bedrick/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DBedrickOrder The Unshaming Way: https://a.co/d/dYTwNa7Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/contributors/david-bedrick-jd-dipl-pw Connect with Aimee:Instagram: @aimeetakaya Facebook: Aimee Takaya Learn more about Aimee Takaya, Hanna Somatic Education, and The Radiance Program at www.freeyoursoma.com.
There's a powerful psychological state that can paralyze us, interfere with effective relationships, block our empathy, and cause us to inflict harm. It's called shame.Today, David Bedrick shares what shame is, how it's created, and its connection to trauma. Some say shame keeps us humble, but David shares why we don't need shame because it's not the same as embarrassment or regret. We unpack why shame is not a feeling but a psychological state that can leave you numb - and how you can instead create a space of safety and security within yourself. David shares how we can snap out of a shame spiral in the moment and also gives insights as to why some people may feel a need to shame others. David makes us think about our need to “solve,” or pathologize as he puts it, shame, anger, depression, and the like rather than process root causes to make meaning. He offers an intriguing thought experiment to try to break yourself of this tendency! Lastly, we touch on how to unashame conflict and dialogue through conflict in a more productive way. To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:Shame is different from embarrassment or humiliation. Shame is a psychological state that may have feelings associated with it. Negative feelings are not bad - they can even be helpful for understanding our behavior and lead us to making an action toward repair. Say the criticisms in your head aloud from the perspective of the negatives - it gives you a chance to respond and advocate for yourself. "If shame enters my system, the only thing I care about is removing the bad experience I have in myself. I don't care about you. I care about being low. In the fully shame psyche, you don't exist as a person that matters to me at all." — David Bedrick, JD, Dipl.

Teacher, author, and psychological activist David Bedrick is here to talk about breaking free from shame to live a life of freedom, health and vitality, as he elaborates in his beautiful book "The Unshaming Way."I know I know, we all know about shame these days, but the way David talks about this topic is truly deep, gentle and illuminating. I have learned so much from his book, and keep going back to this simple concept "Shame robs us of an inner lover and protector," and of course, the opposite of this is to internalize love and protection in our system. We both share our insights and stories of working with shame from our childhoods, more illuminating and effective than any stats or statements I find. David is a lovely human and this was such an essential conversation in our journey back home to ourselves. If you want to get involved with his work and get your hands on his incredible book which I highly recommend: https://www.davidbedrick.com/Takeaways*Shame obstructs our deeper experiences and self-awareness.*The greatest injury of shame is making ourselves invisible.*People pleasing is often a trauma response, not a personality trait.*Parents' unfulfilled lives can shape their children's paths.*Healing involves reclaiming our authentic selves and stories.*Witnessing and integrating our experiences is crucial for healing.*The quality of relationships is key to emotional health.*Vulnerability in leadership fosters genuine connections.*There is inherent goodness beneath our coping mechanisms.*Self-accompaniment and compassion are vital for personal growth.

The discussion highlights practical strategies, like taking small steps and seeking supportive communities, to navigate and heal from shame.Dr. Jesse is a nervous system regulation and burnout prevention expert.

Welcome to episode 57 of the MindThatEgo Podcast and the first of a new series on dreams. I'm joined by David Bedrick, the founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame-based Studies, where he trains therapists, coaches and healers, and offers workshops for individuals.David graduated from the Process Work Institute and has been adjunct faculty for over 15 years. He studied under Arny Mindell, the founder of process-oriented psychology. Mindell was a student of Carl Jung, who integrated physics and the body into Jung's work. David also taught psychology and philosophy courses at the University of Phoenix.His latest book, The Unshaming Way, is the focus of today's conversation. Topics include: common misconceptions of shame, trauma-based and cultural origins of shame, the healing power of an unshaming witness, the intelligence of bodily experience, unshamed views of madness, depression and mental illness, expressing and learning from big emotions, the “dreambody” as a metaphor for inner processes, and why dreams naturally provide an unshamed view.

How often do you catch yourself wondering, What's wrong with me? If you've ever felt trapped in cycles of shame—you're not alone. In this episode, I sit down with David Bedrick, author of The Unshaming Way, to explore how shame shapes our lives, how power and privilege protect themselves, and why unshaming is the real path to healing. We talk about how gaslighting (both internal and external) keeps us small, why recognizing our own privilege is essential as healers and leaders, and how we can rewrite the narratives that have been imposed on us. We also take a look at David's astrology, including his Chiron in Aquarius, and how the “wounded healer” archetype plays into his life's work. If you've ever struggled with internalized shame or questioned your place as a leader, this episode is for you.
Imagine growing up with a constant sense of shame, only to realize later how powerful unshaming witnesses can be in healing that wound. This episode features the insightful David Bedrick, a teacher, counselor, and author, who sheds light on the profound impact of shame on our personal development. Through intimate stories, he reveals how his challenging upbringing, marked by his father's violence and his mother's denial, shaped his understanding of the dual role witnesses play in either perpetuating or alleviating shame. David's narrative serves as a poignant reminder of how crucial it is to validate and believe in each other's experiences to foster genuine self-acceptance and transformation.We navigate through the intricacies of intersectional oppression and systemic dehumanization, diving into gender-based insults and the cultural forces that perpetuate harmful stereotypes. Our conversation emphasizes the necessity of differentiating between individual and systemic oppression when addressing these issues. Recognizing these oppressive messages' historical roots, we explore solidarity and empowerment as vital tools for healing. David shares how healed individuals can act as catalysts for collective healing, challenging societal norms while supporting others in similar struggles, illustrating the potential for a transformative ripple effect throughout society.Our discussion takes us further into the realms of consciousness and representation, where we examine how historical oppression continues to influence power dynamics today. Understanding these dynamics is key to fostering meaningful connections and personal growth. We also touch on the concept of shame, questioning whether it can ever be constructive in encouraging just actions. Throughout the episode, we explore how healing can be a pathway to becoming one's true self, engaging authentically with one's passions and purpose. By reflecting on personal experiences and insights from influential figures, we invite listeners to embark on their own journey of self-realization, honoring their unique calling in life.The Unshaming Way - Weekend Workshophttps://www.mnpc.co.uk/events/the-unshaming-way-weekend-workshop?fbclid=IwY2xjawITM8FleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHaD_vGQx3RCUazdDC3VcC5fETwPU-1PtB_8X88ZNygfOsFhhwHsTeElmTw_aem_hAhs1AAMG9B1kdV80z2uSwOrder The Unshaming Way: https://a.co/d/dYTwNa7Website: https://www.davidbedrick.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/david.bedrick/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DBedrickPsychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/contributors/david-bedrick-jd-dipl-pwThis Podcast is sponsored by Onlinevents

In this episode, Kreed explores the complex emotions surrounding motherhood and estrangement, focusing on the themes of shame, healing, and personal growth. Through personal anecdotes and insights, she emphasizes that motherhood is a love story filled with detours and heartbreak, and that shame should not define a mother's worth. The conversation encourages estranged mothers to reclaim their narratives and find healing, highlighting the importance of self-care and challenging negative self-perceptions. Takeaways * Shame is not your legacy; motherhood is a love story. * Detours in motherhood are not dead ends but part of the journey. * Challenge the negative narratives you tell yourself. * Your worth is not tied to your child's choices. * Estrangement reflects their pain, not your value. * Motherhood is messy and imperfect; embrace your humanity. * Heartbreak in relationships is a shared experience. www.TheEstrangedHeart.com Email Kreed: TheEstrangedHeart@gmail.com Leave a voicemail for Kreed: https://www.theestrangedheart.com/voicemail/ Coaching with Kreed: https://TheEstrangedHeart-scheduler.as.me/COACHING Facebook Support Group for Estranged Moms: facilitated by Kreed - https://www.facebook.com/groups/estrangedmotherssupportgroup To support the podcast and Kreed's work with estranged and reconciled parents and adult children: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kreedrevere (one time donation)
What's up gorgeous soul, today we're diving into a topic that gets so many of us in a twist: is it bad to want to be famous for your work? Spoiler alert, it's not just okay, it's powerful AF. This episode is all about reclaiming the sacredness of your desires and reframing fame as a way to amplify your impact, serve at a higher level, and fully step into your unapologetic leadership. If you've ever felt like you had to shrink your dreams or second-guessed your big vision, you are NOT alone. I'm breaking down the messy, raw, and liberating truths about visibility, success, and what it means to want more in a way that's aligned with your purpose. Get ready for a heartfelt conversation and some tangible, empowering insights! In This Episode: 00:00 - The Desire for Fame 02:52 - Understanding Fame and Its Subjectivity 05:52 - Desire is A Sacred Force for Growth 08:59 - Unshaming Your Desires 11:54 - Visibility and the Fear of Judgment 15:13 - The Beauty of Wanting Fame 17:57 - The Relationship Between Wealth and Service 21:07 - Judgment, Jealousy, and Self-Reflection 25:48 - Navigating Creative Voids and Envy 35:04 - Self-Hypnosis for Shifting Beliefs 46:32 - Embodied Presence and Unique Expression Key Takeaways Fame is not inherently bad; it's about being known for the purpose of amplifying your impact and service. Visibility blocks often stem from fear of judgment, rejection, or misunderstanding. Desire is sacred and aligned with your unique purpose—owning it unlocks new possibilities. Judgment is frequently a reflection of unclaimed desires or internal conflict. Practical tools like self-hypnosis and somatic practices can support deeper alignment with your goals. Quotes “Your desires are not random; they are placed on the altar of your heart for a reason.” – Rachael Meeds “To want to be known for your work is to amplify your ability to serve.” – Rachael Meeds “Judgment is almost always jealousy—it's a reflection of desires we haven't claimed.” – Rachael Meeds “Faith without work is delusion. You've got to show up to the altar of your leadership.” – Rachael Meeds Connect & Work With Rachael Instagram: @rachaelmeeds Website: rachaelmeeds.com Join Voice: The House of Liberated Self Expression
On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I had the honor and delight of speaking with one of my teachers and mentors, David Bedrick!David is a teacher, counselor, attorney, and the founder of The Sante Fe Institute for Shame-based Studies.He's also the author of four books and on this episode, we discuss his latest: THE UNSHAMING WAY - A Compassionate Guide to Dismantling Shame.This fantastic book addresses how to heal from shame, unlearn self-blame, and reclaim your story.As someone who has been deeply impacted by his work on shame and the unshaming process, I was super excited to dive into a rich conversation about vulnerability, trauma, and the power of authentic expression. We also explored the profound impact of violence, childhood trauma, and how the internalization of shame can shape our adult experiences. Perhaps most importantly, David shared his unique approach to "unshaming," which involves genuine curiosity and a deep respect for each person's sacred story. Rather than trying to fix or change someone, he invites them to fully inhabit and express their authentic selves - a process that often unlocks hidden gifts and strengths. One of the surprising key moments for me was when David and I both reflected on how we were once labeled as "shy" kids, when in reality, we were simply responding to fear and a lack of safety!I've benefited immensely from this work, and now I'm so happy to get to share David and these insights with you.I'd love to hear your favorite and most impactful takeaways, too!KEY POINTS:• The power of vulnerability and transparency in building trust and safety• How childhood trauma can lead to internalized shame and self-criticism• Reframing "shyness" as a response to fear - rather than a personality trait• David Bedrick's definition of shame as a viewpoint, not just a feeling• The transformative potential of authentic expression and the "unshaming" process• The exacerbating role of systemic oppression in fueling internalized shame• The Nest - Group Mentoring Program DAVID'S BIO: David Bedrick, JD, Dipl.

Teacher, counselor, and attorney David Bedrick has developed a profound method for helping people unshame their shame. In this third episode of our short non-grad series of four, David and Drew dive deep into a conversation about the true nature of shame and how to heal it through what David calls Unshaming. While David is not a graduate of the Process, his work is very closely aligned with the work of the Process. As David says, "Shame is an internalized vision of oneself. It creates feelings, but they are not feelings." According to David, to heal shame, someone must truly witness us. In telling our story of what happened, we need to be heard, seen, and understood. We need to be humanized, not stigmatized or pathologized. He says we must be "witnessed for being a human being who's been through an experience. That's unshaming. That's humanizing." We hope you enjoy this profound conversation on the nature of healing shame with David and Drew. **This episode mentions physical and sexual violence and may not be suitable for all listeners. Please use your discretion. More about David Bedrick: David Bedrick, JD, Dipl. PW grew up in a family marked by violence. While his father's brutality was physical and verbal, his mother's denial and gaslighting had its own covert power. This formative context introduced David early to the etiology of shame and instilled an urge to unshame. Professionally, he was on the faculty for the University of Phoenix and the Process Work Institute in the U.S. and Poland and is the founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame-based Studies where he trains therapists, coaches, and healers and offers workshops for individuals to further their own personal development. David writes for Psychology Today. He's the author of Talking Back to Dr. Phil: Alternatives to Mainstream Psychology and Revisioning Activism: Bringing Depth, Dialogue, and Diversity to Individual and Social Change. His new book is You Can't Judge a Body by Its Cover: 17 Women's Stories of Hunger, Body Shame, and Redemption. North Atlantic Books will publish David's upcoming book, The Unshaming Way, in November 2024. You can preorder The Unshaming Way here. Discover more about David at DavidBedrick.com.

I HAVE A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT INSIDE! I can't wait to share. The title of this episode came through as I was sharing how it's my feeling that underneath the shame we carry is grief. The grief of the younger self that the world didn't appear to be a place to hold the generosity of nuance, of complexity, of paradox. A place of compassionate listening and curiosity. Grief that we have to be either good or bad. Grief that can't just be our whole selves. It's my hypothesis that it was easier to submit to the logic of the shame police than it was to hold the grief about the world. In this episode, I give updates on my passion project to bring the medicine magic of unshaming to the astrological community. Upcoming Live Events: If you're in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, please join me Saturday, Aug 3, at one or both of the following workshops: Unshaming the Signs at The Future - one of my most favorite metaphysical shops in the U.S.!

Have you ever experienced freeze, where your body goes to a complete shutdown? Freeze dynamics can show up in various areas of life, such as sexuality, relationships, work, and organization. Today, I'm excited to host Rachel Rae Halder. She explains how the freeze response is often misunderstood, the nuances of the freeze response, its impact on various aspects of life, and the importance of approaching it with understanding and self-compassion. In this podcast episode, Rachel takes us through: - How freeze is common and how it's often misunderstood. - What freeze is, and how it occurs. - Freeze in different life areas. - How understanding freeze dynamics brings compassion to areas of struggle and stuckness. - Thawing freeze through micro-movements - How seeking stability, safety, and self-trust in the body and environment supports the nervous system in emerging from a shutdown. - How to work with chronic freeze patterns. - Consciously working through ancestral healing of freeze patterns. - Her upcoming 8-week course “Finding Flow” and other offerings for Nervous System Education. And so much more! Rachel Halder is a neurodivergent and queer writer, thought leader, and seasoned practitioner with over a decade of experience in post-traumatic growth healing arts, with some of the most advanced trainings around trauma resolution, sexual liberation, and collective healing. She has a unique, mystical, ancestral, and energetic approach to trauma healing + pleasure, especially in understanding nuances in the nervous system, including many freeze dynamics that play out in people's bodies. Her work goes far beyond the typical somatic experiencing principles and enters into nature, plus the energetic and mystical realms of the “unseen.” Links: https://rachelhalder.podia.com/finding-flow https://rachelhalder.podia.com/why-we-freeze www.facebook.com/raehalder www.instagram.com/rachel.rae.halder www.raehalder.com Follow Aimee Takaya on: IG : @aimeetakaya Facebook : Aimee Takaya Learn more about Aimee Takaya, Hanna Somatic Education, and The Radiance Program at www.freeyoursoma.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aimee322/support
"I should be able to show up in multiple ways. But despite being somebody who has a book deal and 70 plus thousand followers on Tiktok […] I have to accept that I have my own limitations." -Jessie DaSilva In this episode, we talk about her book, The Witch's Way To Wealth, and the vulnerability that comes with her recent success.
In episode 439 astrologer Britten LaRue joins the podcast to discuss unshaming the signs of the zodiac, which involves re-conceptualizing qualities that are viewed as negative, and radically accepting what we invalidate in each sign. We open the episode by discussing the topic of shame in astrology, and some of the problems involved with treating […]
“The unshaming process is bringing out into the forefront all of that stuff that we're telling ourselves, because shame is really saying that there's something wrong with me. By naming it out loud, we're taking all of the wind out of its sails.” –Kamini WoodAre you holding yourself back without even realizing it? I'm really excited to talk with Kamini Wood, a certified life coach, about limiting beliefs. She shows us how to reign in people pleasing and perfectionism and overcome the beliefs we have that hold us back.We see a lot of people pleasing and perfectionism in the PlanSimple community, so we started there. Kamini says that overcoming people pleasing starts with getting clear about your needs and values. When you've reconnected with that you can begin to realign your actions and step out of the people pleasing role.Then pay attention to your body. It may take a little time to learn your own cues, but notice what happens when you start people pleasing. Practice self-talk to see what's happening and what you really want. Kamini recommends actually talking aloud to yourself. It feels weird at first, but it's important.We talk about: Perfectionism and “next-ing” Separating out values you were brought up with to what is really meaningful to you nowWhy we avoid boundaries … and why we need themLearning how to hold boundaries (it's something we need to learn!)Shaming ourselves and the unshaming processHelping kids navigate perfectionism and people pleasingABOUT KAMINIKamini Wood, a certified life coach, helps high-achievers heal their relationships with themselves. She helps people take courageous steps in identifying limiting beliefs, reasons for stagnation and overcoming self-doubt in order to live a fulling professional and personal life.Kamini is a best-selling author; holding certifications in various modalities including life, wellness, high-performance coaching, teen life, conscious uncoupling, calling in the one, new money story, breath work, meditation and diversity, equity inclusion, and belonging. She is also trained in conscious parenting and coaching for children.LINKShttps://www.kaminiwood.com/Instagram: itsauthenticme/Pinterest: @itsauthenticme/Podcast: RiseUp - Live Joy Your Way Kamini WoodDOABLE CHANGESAt the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Action is where change happens.Even though we want big change, it's really little things done over and over that make the difference. So pick a doable thing. Put it in your calendar. Weave it through your days for a week and then move on to the next one. It will have a snowball effect.Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:IDENTIFY YOUR NEEDS. The first step to break out of people pleasing is to recognize your own needs and values. Take some time to think about what you actually need, believe and value yourself. This can be an ongoing process. You can start by asking yourself questions like: What's going on here? Is this something you actually want to do? Is this really what you agree with? Pay attention to values you were brought up with. Ask if they fit you now.SET AND KEEP BOUNDARIES. You can set and keep boundaries with
Unshaming and celebrating our sexuality is an essential step toward self-acceptance. In this deeply personal episode, I share my story of sexual liberation while also exploring the societal pressures that often repress sexual expression and how overcoming these can lead to personal growth and fulfillment. We dive into 3 books that helped me shift my limited perspectives and own my true desires — "Sex Outside the Lines" by Chris Donaghue, "Boyslut" by Zachary Zane, and "Pleasure Activism" by Adrienne Maree Brown.

How do you release shame you've experienced along your path of self-development and growth?Today I reflect on my own spiritual journey and the ways in which shame has impacted my experience over the past decade or so. I've personally experienced a bit of a homecoming back to myself, and as I've done so, the path has consistently surprised me. The thing that has most shocked me is my shift back into spirituality. In fact, I fought it for quite sometime — until it practically beat me over the head and I finally cried uncle about it.In this episode, I give you a peek into my experience in hopes of it normalizing this for you or anyone else who may be supported by hearing what I've been through specifically when it comes to many facets of spiritual shame.I felt shame when I felt pulled away from my religious upbringing, and I felt shame when I came back to spirituality. And I felt triggered by it all for a long time.Hope there's something good for you here in these reflections, and that it invites you to open up to your experiences (and those of others) with less judgement and shame — and replace it with loving curiosity.This is a Thursday Thread episode pulling a piece from Tuesday's episode featuring Allison Holley.

This week, David Bedrick, an elder dedicated to the work of Unshaming, joins me on the podcast to discuss what it means to step into the transformative potential of eldership. We explore the ache for elders in our culture and the necessity of imparted wisdom, courage, and insight. David shares his personal journey of finding his path and the role of elders in guiding and supporting him. Together, we discuss the quality of humility, the power of embracing the darkness, and the regenerative nature of forgiveness as a path of heart. About David Bedrick David Bedrick is an elder dedicated to the work of unshaming our culture and our world. He is the founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame Based Studies and the author of several books, including "Talking Back to Dr. Phil" and "17 Women's Stories of Hunger, Body, Shame and Redemption." David's upcoming book, "Unshamed," will be published in 2024. Summary: David Bedrick, an elder and founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame Based Studies, joins the podcast to discuss the concept of eldership and the importance of stepping into this role in our culture. He emphasizes the need for elders to embrace their path of heart and share their wisdom and experiences with others. David also explores the significance of humility, death, and regenerativeness in the journey of becoming an elder. Key Takeaways: Eldership is not just about age, but about embracing a path of heart and sharing wisdom with others. Humility is essential for elders, as it allows them to acknowledge their mistakes and share their experiences with others. Embracing periods of death and rebirth is a crucial part of the journey to becoming an elder. Regenerativeness is a key aspect of eldership, as it involves continually renewing and recreating one's own life. Links: David's Website David's Instagram Unshamed: Monthly Medicine
I bring you this episode in honor of Venus Retrograde in Leo from July 22 to September 3, 2023. The first part of the episode is a conversation with my boyfriend Matt Bull. The last Venus Retrograde literally broke us, and then Venus walked with us through a radical repair process that has been nurturing our love since. We talk about the ways mystical "bullshit" has supported us as individuals and as a couple. The most bullshit framework of all helped us the most: Twin Flames. It's deeply embarrassing to admit, but it's true. By fully committing to exploring the responsibility of being twin flames, we nurtured repair and healed in ways I don't know we would have experienced if we hadn't been willing to play with the possibility. Matt has come on Moon to Moon before, and I encourage everyone to check out our first conversation "Coincidence as a Practice," which we reference often. In that episode, we talk about religious trauma, UFOs, and how embracing coincidence yields more magical, mystical living. It's my 3rd most popular episode ever. I trust you'll enjoy it. The second part of today's episode (the last 25 minutes or so) is a solo segment where I talk about Venus retrogrades in general and about this one in Leo specifically. I share dates and suggestions for walking through this experience to receive the loving updates Venus wants to offer you.

David Bedrick is the founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame-Based Studies, where he teaches therapists, coaches, and healers from around the world how to work with people in a new way. Healing from a pornography habit can be an extremely challenging and disturbing experience, and David's perspective is that it shouldn't be simply accepted. There are often hidden gifts in the shame that may arise, and we're exploring this on this episode. David shares his own unshaming story and his unique approach to unshaming. He offers insights into why shaming ourselves never leads to change, the difference between guilt and shame, and what the practice of unshaming can look like in reality.

I have found it to be true that expanding who we are out in the world has a to do with expanding our capacity to be with what comes up in our inner world as we face the evidence of our lives. From an emotional perspective, most evidence is "failure," and a lot of the reason we hold back or "stay small" has to do with protecting ourselves from evidence we don't want to see. So to become a person of evidence means to become someone with the courage and self-trust to be with whatever comes up in the present moment. In this dark moon episode, I share how this idea of becoming a person of evidence has been growing in my life as I've been relating it to both the presence of Taurus and the paradox of Gemini.

The title of this new series is inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke's passage from Letters to a Young Poet: "Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” In this new M2M series, which will be monthly or every other month, I want to respond to the questions on your heart that you must ask - not the questions you should ask, or even the ones you want to ask. You know it's a question that you must ask because it sings from your heart. In the asking, you begin to live your way into the answer. The point is not to hear what I have to say about it as much as to speak your question, trusting that if it's a question you must ask, then it's also a question that is in some way bigger than yourself. These are questions than live in other bodies, too. And so let's share them together, each of us responding to them and living them in our own weird ways. I share what I am learning and living from the questions, but not to give answers that solve problems or tie things with a bow. I can only answer emergently from the present moment, trusting that my personal truth in the question will light something up in the listener. In this 1st episode, I share 5 questions that I have recently been asked. Moving forward, I invite you to share your question here and I may or may not share yours in an upcoming episode. Know that it's in the speaking your question that you will feel a shift, not from my response. The 5 questions: - What has been your experience emerging as an astrologer with your daughters? Have they ever resented you or shown disapproval? - How do you bring your thoughts into the physical form so they can be communicated and be helpful and be guideposts and spells for other people through the written word? - How can we discern between the "wild twin" and self-destruction? - How do you navigate feelings of being an imposter or feeling not healed enough to hold space for others? - How do you do all the things you do? What are the practical and logistical as well as the mystical and intangible factors that support you in being someone who holds so much? I hope you enjoy Living the Questions as much as I enjoyed creating it! If you haven't left a review or rating, I would be so grateful if you would take a moment to offer one.

Unshaming is a critical skill in any self-acceptance journey, and especially an ADHD acceptance journey. In this episode I walk you through 3 steps to unshame any experience. I talk about how shame is pervasive in the neurodivergent experience and why, and how to take power away from shame and take it back for yourself. Edit: My brain *COMPLETELY FORGOT* how Kristin Neff is actually pretty ableist—her book on self compassion, while it has wonderful parts to it, also has a part where she claims her autistic son was "healed" by a shaman. Eugh. I blocked all that out. I'd like to quote bell hooks instead: "Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion."

"I realize now that I came to astrology to heal shame, though I didn't know that at the time. I had never really put the word shame on my experience. But I now see that shame was the baseline of my personality. I had an apology for my existence somewhere in any conversation, any project, any situation. Whether it was the perceived too-gruesome parts of me I was apologizing for, or even for the perceived too-perfect parts of me. I just wanted to apologize to everyone. "I'm sorry I exist." But back then I didn't know that what I was swimming in was a sea of shame. It feels really foreign to me to talk about that now. It's not that I don't have shame that I notice. It's just that now I notice it because I'm not so immersed in it that I can't even see it. I tap on new layers of it all the time. And I know what to do to help myself and to resource myself. What I see in working with other people is that shame is the thing that's always present. Shame is the thing we're all carrying around. Whether we think that word is something we associate with or not. Maybe you call it the inner critic. Maybe you call it self-sabotage. Maybe you're attached to the word guilt or regret or self-mistrust. To me, it's all a shame problem." For astrology to be helpful, it has to help us with shame, because we cannot vision exciting futures when we see life through a shame lens. Unshaming the Signs is a framework for calling in this approach to speaking astrology. It's a healing-focused approach to astrology. I hope you enjoy it and find it helpful.

Phantom Electric Ghost Interview Emily Flood Fitness Coach: "Unshaming Fitness by Reprogramming Your Brain" Biography Emily is an online fitness & life coach who integrates ritual, psychology, & magical mindset practices with her clients. She competed on the national bodybuilding stage in 2020 & has since been focused on lifting for strength. Her mission is to take shame out of the fitness industry by reprogramming the brain for self love. About Emily Like most women, I got into fitness because I didn't like the way my body looked. My mind ran on a constant dialogue of self hate & anxiety was my day to day norm--to my infinite shame. I threw myself into competitive bodybuilding to battle the post college isolation & loneliness & spent years tracking every single gram of food without ever being allowed to eat out all the way until I competed on the national stage in 2020. As you can imagine I developed some incredible disordered eating habits & fell into binge eating behaviors shortly after. As a fitness coach myself at this point I felt an incredible amount of shame--like I was a total fraud! I set out on a quest to "fix" myself, my eating behaviors, & my anxiety. 2.5 years later after multiple courses, mentorships, & an ADHD diagnosis... I realized that it had been shame itself that directed my disordered eating behaviors as well as my anxiety. In thinking myself as broken, I was fueling the self hate & "not good enough" dialogue that all of my clients also struggled with. Through unshaming my own life: learning to love & accept my full authentic self, I publicly came out as a witch, started to integrate magical mindset practices (which are truly just "spicy psychology" meditations, journeywork, & rituals to get your creative right brain on board) with my clients along with life coaching techniques I'd learned from my many mentors including emotional regulation, somatics, & limiting belief shifting. Through the experience I also escaped an emotionally abusive relationship with someone who has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I'm extremely passionate about unshaming fitness because frankly, we all have trauma. Whether that was bullying, abuse, assault, or simply growing up with all the messages around what women are "supposed" to look like & eat, how we're supposed to behave, what we're supposed to wear etc... all of that compounds in the brain as shame. "I'm not good enough, I need to fix myself, I always mess up, I'm too much for people etc." And this dramatically impedes people from having success on a fitness journey because it activates the fight or flight portion of the brain, which is also responsible for our trauma responses. The fitness industry is full of coaches who use shame to motivate their clients: shame for what people eat, what their bodies look like, shaming clients for being "lazy or undisciplined" etc & this just keeps people stuck. It's my life's mission to change this & to help people tackle their fitness journeys from self love by reprogramming their brains for self love. I've been mindfully eating for the last year, have not experienced binge eating behaviors in a very long time, & am training for a powerlifting (strength based) competition.

Have you found pleasure and shame to go hand-in-hand? Nicole Nardone swings open the doors to talk about how self-pleasuring is absolutely vital to our boundlessness, especially as women, for whom it is not uncommon to not have self-pleasured until their late 20's (like me), or even NEVER. This episode is not just about sexual energy though, it's about LIFE energy, enjoyment, integration of shadows, of really hard stuff, of sweetness, and most of all, of LOVE. Some of the highlights for me, other than being able to be in Nicole's presence for nearly an hour, were how she would use the sound, "Mmmm," throughout, my favorite quote by her, "It doesn't matter what modality you use as long as there is love," and how she felt about Kundalini Yoga when she started practicing in college. (I share her sentiments exactly). As Promised in the episode, you'll find the recipe for the "Mouth Orgasm Bombs, Up-Leveled below. About Nicole: A truth seeker since birth, Nicole has always known there was more to life than what meets the eye. Her life has been a mostly joyful, sometimes uncomfortable, quest to quench her thirst for meaning, healing, and love. She grew up learning various alternative healing modalities and spiritual traditions as a child. She has trained under shamans, yogis, wild women, and spirits on the other side. Her journey has led her to the simple but powerful truth that love is the ultimate medicine for all that ails us.

In this week's episode, we're joined by author, mental health expert, and professor David Bedrick as he discusses his revolutionary approach to dismantling shame and reclaiming our authentic selves. With his latest book, The Unshaming Way: A Compassionate Guide to Dismantling Shame, David offers a trauma-informed lens on how shame shapes our behaviors, often lurking in the shadows of emotions like anger and procrastination.David dives deep into the roots of shame, exploring how it forms when we experience trauma but are denied the space or tools to express ourselves. He emphasizes the importance of unshaming—inviting us to see our supposed flaws not as problems to be fixed, but as pathways to our own strength and authenticity. As we explore concepts from his new book, endorsed by Gabor Maté, we discuss practical tools for unlearning self-blame, understanding shame as an internal viewpoint, and living life aligned with our true selves.Whether you've struggled with shame or are simply curious about how it shows up in your life, this episode offers insightful ways to start your own unshaming journey.PRE-ORDER DAVID'S BOOK HERE > The Unshaming Way: A Compassionate Guide to Dismantling Shame--Heal From Trauma, Unlearn Self-Blame, and Reclaim Your Story ⬇️DAMN THE JOIN SHITSHOW - ADULT CHILD HEALING COMMUNITY⬇️https://theshitshow.mn.co4 weekly zoom support groups (Sun 3: 30 pm EST, Mon 8:30 pm EST, Tues 1 pm EST, & Thurs 8:30 pm EST)Support community at your fingertips with discussion boards and chat
