Unmasking Shame: Transforming Pain into Growth and Resilience with Kyira Wackett

Scenic Route

Ever found yourself hesitating to speak up in a meeting, fearing you'll say the wrong thing? Or avoiding social events because you feel unworthy of others' company? Shame influences our self-worth and behaviour in many ways, so let's shed some light on this.
Join us on a captivating exploration with Kyira Wackett, a renowned mental health therapist and creator of Adversity Rising. With her profound insights, we dissect the complexity of shame, its manipulation for societal control, and its damaging consequences on our self-worth and behaviour.
Why You Should Listen:

• Understanding Shame: Kyira unpacks how shame shapes our self-worth and actions, particularly within marginalized communities.
• Mindfulness and Self-Compassion: Learn the role of mindfulness, curiosity, and self-compassion in overcoming shame and fostering personal growth.
• Practical Strategies: Gain actionable strategies to break free from the cycle of knowledge versus action, and how to set effective boundaries.
• Self-Accountability: Discover the importance of recognizing patterns, tuning into our body's needs, and the therapeutic benefits of reading.

Our compelling conversation ranges from the oppressive nature of shame, particularly within marginalized communities, to the battle of setting boundaries. Together, we underscore the role of mindfulness, curiosity, and self-compassion in understanding our issues, emphasizing the importance of forgiveness as a key to personal growth. We grapple with the paradox of knowledge versus action, offering practical strategies for breaking free from this cycle.
Our journey doesn't end there. We consider the value of self-accountability, the power of recognizing patterns rather than being swayed by isolated incidents, and the necessity of tuning into our body's needs rather than pandering to shame's desires. We wrap up by exploring the joy of reading and its therapeutic benefits, reminding you that seeking comfort is something to be proud of.
Buckle up for a thought-provoking journey about shame, resilience, and personal growth. Remember, we're in this together. Let's grow.
