"Shame is like a virus. If you keep it inside, it will slowly fester and slowly kill you over time.”

But bestie, it's okay! Okay?? I'll tell you why in today's episode as I delve deeper into the unspoken feelings of shame and embarrassment around past dating decisions. We'll talk about the most common dating choices that lead to shame and how you can offer that compassionate approach to your inner child so you can heal and forgive yourself moving forward.
