We all have (or will have) seasons in life where we may encounter the debilitating emotion of shame in some way. Sometimes shame occurs from something that happened TO us, while sometimes we feel shame because of something we've DONE.

In this episode, we're talking about 3 practical ways that help you get through those tough times when things aren't going as planned.

Most of us this time of year are making resolutions and goals to prepare for the year to come. And instead of throwing goals out there and not really knowing how to fully tackle those or follow-through, let's start with some best practices (of what NOT to do) to make sure we're all proud of what we accomplished by the end of this year.
