December 04, 20231 min read

Is all shame bad?

This is the premise of this week’s Ask a Coach question. The truth is, it all comes down to semantics, and my answer is both yes and no.

Join me today to hear my thoughts on why no emotion is inherently bad, how emotions can be either helpful or unhelpful, and how to identify whether the shame you’re experiencing is serving you.
