What Shame Has Taught Me
Shame. We have all felt feelings of shame at some point in our lives. For some of us, it was something we felt growing up, whether at school or in our families. For others, feelings of shame may have come up later in our adult lives.
In this episode, Lisa Anderson discusses her experiences with shame and how it impacted her confidence, relationships, and life over the years. Lisa tells her story on how she discovered a way to work through those feelings and become more confident and ultimately, shameless.
Episode 20 is a beautiful illustration of feelings we all have at some point and provides wise words on what we can learn from these experiences. Perhaps the most important lesson being a deep reflection into not only how we treat ourselves, but others as well.
Forgiveness is the Hardest Thing
The path to forgiveness requires acceptance, introspection, admission of guilt, and the ability to see the situation through another’s eyes.
During the prolonged Covid-19 lockdowns, twenty-one women were invited to write about their experiences of forgiveness through the medium of poetry or prose, fiction or non-fiction. The result is an anthology that lays bare the shared need to forgive or to be forgiven.
It captures deeply personal stories of domestic violence, family disruptions, the disintegration of friendships, and the impact of taking an individual’s power. But it also brings gifts of insight, stories of healing, techniques to help with physical and mental well-being, and a discourse about the spiritual side of forgiveness from a unique perspective.
Featuring the writing of multiple-award winning authors from across North America, the UK, Ireland, NZ and Australia, Forgiveness is the Hardest Thing is an inspiring collection to draw from when you too are wondering, how can I forgive?
