  • 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.
