Show Notes:
The New Year has arrived, full of hope and promise. If it doesn’t feel that way for you, what might be holding you back? If you don’t feel like your best life lies ahead of you, could shame be keeping you small and quiet? In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., and a mid-life women’s life coach, shares her resolution to be more aware of the shame she carries, how often it surfaces in her life and how it keeps her quiet. She gives examples of how shame has shown up for her recently, analyzes the root causes and offers positive solutions for moving past it—with suggestions for how you can approach any shame or embarrassment that might be keeping you from living your most authentic life.
