When I first heard Brené Brown talk about shame, I did not identify shame as being the root cause of my burnout.

After all, control is just my way of being efficient.

And sure, I criticize and blame other people (when they do stupid things).

Okay, and yes I compare. But who doesn’t? I’m working harder here than anyone else and no one appreciates it!

[long silence as I reflect on how I saw the world back then…]

Promise me that you will learn from my mistakes. Promise?! Because I have made so many haha.

Shame is the name of the game.

We discuss it all in this wonderful podcast.

Two humans. Connecting.
