814: How Shaming Undermines Trust and What to Do Instead
Shame is integrated into our society in all sorts of explicit and subtle ways.\xa0Sometimes we can see it right away and call it out.\xa0Other times, we quietly internalize it, not realizing that it\u2019s undermining our self-worth while building up our protective armor to the point that our truest gifts can no longer shine through.\xa0\nSome of us were raised by parents who used shame as a weapon.\xa0\xa0\nSome of us have bosses who use shame as a weapon.\xa0\xa0\nSome of us have been taught, mentored, or coached by leaders who use shame as a weapon.\nWhen we have models and mentors who use shame as a form of control, power, or manipulation, sometimes we don\u2019t know any better than to do the same thing ourselves once we have the opportunity to yield some control or power over others.\xa0\xa0\nIn this episode, we will explore how shame does the opposite of what the shamer wants it to do while breaking our spirit in the process; how shame, even subtle shame, destroys the trust and integrity of a relationship; and 5 approaches you can use instead of shame to build healthy relationships while co-creating solutions that strength rather than undermine our bonds with one another.\xa0\n\nWe love the sponsors that make this show possible!
