Shame is a huge topic. Not always comfortable to talk about of course, but necessary nonetheless. As well as healing and helpful — transformative even.Shame is rife in so many ways in society.

And I, for one, can testify to that, in many ways.As always, please feel free to let me know what this episode brings up for you; you can contact me on Instagram, and/or at [email protected] this episode I speak about:the undue shame of being divorced/separatedthe shame of being 'overweight'my experience of acne and skin issuesfeelings around growing olderburlesque and sensualitySTI's'just' a MOTHER!?Themes: shame, motherhood, health, abuseI mention Mark Groves, Dr Sophie Brock, Ebony Jane Hensler, Rebecca Antonucci, and Paloma Faith.At the end, I read a quote from Gisèle Pelicot.Did you enjoy this episode?
