138. Grief is the New Shame

Moon to Moon

I HAVE A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT INSIDE! I can't wait to share.

The title of this episode came through as I was sharing how it's my feeling that underneath the shame we carry is grief.

The grief of the younger self that the world didn't appear to be a place to hold the generosity of nuance, of complexity, of paradox. A place of compassionate listening and curiosity. Grief that we have to be either good or bad. Grief that can't just be our whole selves.

It's my hypothesis that it was easier to submit to the logic of the shame police than it was to hold the grief about the world.

In this episode, I give updates on my passion project to bring the medicine magic of unshaming to the astrological community.
