7. The Crossroads of Shame and Guilt: Are we Hypocrites or Just Human?
In this episode, Angie shares tools to help us turn disabling shame into faithful action. Through the concept of divine discontent, we explore the usefulness of a healthy sense of guilt and how it can motivate us to strive for change. We learn to identify when our productive guilt has soured into paralyzing shame and what to do to break out of it.
"Healthy and reasonable guilt is taking personal responsibility for our not acting in a way that honors our true potential . . . This is responsible and can even be hopeful and productive."
"There is a profound difference between shame and guilt." - Brene Brown
