In this episode, the team discusses the definition of a shame narrative and walks through ways to break them by talking through some of their own current shame narratives and the truth statements they use to combat them.
Each episode features a leading question, quote of the week, and a Growing Together segment geared at imperfect leaders who are seeking development in their leadership potential.
Quote of the Week:
“We can know that we are listening to and internalizing a shame narrative when we are consistently beating ourselves up in our own mind. We might say things that demonstrate that we are really down on ourselves, that we don’t matter, or that we suck. Remember, shame says, “I’m bad” at an internal, personal, value level. We can know that we are listening to and internalizing a shame narrative when we find ourselves unwilling to take care of our own needs or assert our desires in a relationship. We can know that we are listening to and internalizing a shame narrative when we are in constant comparison to others, or in consistent need of approval from others. We can know that we are listening to and internalizing a shame narrative when we are not taking care of ourselves (physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally), because we are unwilling.”
