About this listen

Welcome to the Unpacking Possibility podcast – I’m your host, Dr. Traci Stein. I’m a psychologist, hypnotherapist, and I’m a core faculty member at the Spirituality Mind Body Institute at Teachers College, Columbia University in the heart of great city of New York. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how our minds work, understanding how our intuition speaks to us, and learning about what combination of these things helps people to make important steps and lead meaningful lives. I’m fascinated with how we can use our inner knowing to guide us to live a life that’s in line who we truly are. In this podcast, I’ll share with you everything I’ve learned, and give you the keys to unlock YOUR potential to live YOUR most rewarding life. I’ll sit down with people from all walks of life who’ve experienced profound personal transformation in some way – each with the common thread of realizing with great clarity, openness and receptivity, that it was time to live their purpose. We’ll listen in as each person tells their story of “aha moments,” and how they ultimately wound up taking action, overcoming challenges, and pursuing their passions. In each episode of Unpacking Possibility, we’ll unpack what it really takes to manifest positive change. It’s my calling to inspire you to discover your authentic self, learn to trust your inner wisdom, and live a life that has meaning for you!2021, Dr. Traci Stein, All Rights Reserved Hygiene & Healthy Living Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Social Sciences

  • Ep. 108 - Easing Guilt and Shame & Cultivating Forgiveness
    Jun 24 2025

    Guilt and shame are emotions that ideally can help us take stock, take responsibility, and do better going forward. Beating ourselves up mercilessly, however, only perpetuates feelings of guilt and shame and gets in the way of growing. In this episode, psychologist Traci Stein discusses the reasons why so many people feel stuck under the weight of extreme guilt and self-blame, and how embracing forgiveness can help us free ourselves to move forward with greater compassion for ourselves and others.
