Shame & Grief: The Hidden Cost of Self-Blame with Chris Mamone
About this episode
This episode explores the complexities of shame and grief, emphasizing the importance of self-trust and personal agency.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing a special re-release of a conversation where I was a guest on The Empowered Journey podcast, hosted by Chris Mamone. Together, we explore shame not as something to eliminate or overcome, but as a deeply human experience that shapes how we relate to ourselves, our boundaries, and our sense of worth. This conversation moves beyond surface-level insight and into the quieter dynamics that keep people stuck — including overfunctioning, people-pleasing, burnout, and the belief that safety must be earned rather than embodied. Inside this episode, we talk about: What shame actually is (and what it isn’t) How shame drives self-abandonment and chronic over-giving Why boundaries feel threatening when worth is conditional What it looks like to shift from performing healing to practicing agency How curiosity and self-trust support lasting change If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the right things” but still feel disconnected from yourself, this episode offers a grounded, compassionate reframe — one that invites you back into choice instead of pressure. 🎙️ About Chris & The Empowered Journey The Empowered Journey podcast, hosted by Chris Mamone, is…
