About this listen
🎧 Episode 5 — Shame as a Cracked Armor | Host: Olga Costa
Shame doesn’t scream. It whispers: “You’re too much.” “You’re not enough.” “If they knew the real you, they’d leave.”
In this powerful episode, Olga Costa explores shame not as a feeling — but as a survival strategy. We dive into how shame becomes emotional armor, why we wear it, and what happens when it starts to crack. Through stories, symbolism, and science, we’ll uncover how to soften shame’s grip and meet it with compassion instead of judgment.
🔎 In this episode:
- The difference between guilt and shame
- How trauma wires us to hide
- The “social survival” brain and why shame feels so dangerous
- The kintsugi metaphor: cracks that heal with gold
- A reflective SWOT to reclaim your voice
- Tools to speak back to shame gently, not forcefully
If you've ever felt like you're too broken to be seen, this episode is for you.
🕊️ You are not the armor. You are the softness underneath.
