Season 1 Episode 9 - Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change

In this episode of MMM, Lucy and Suzanna explore shame and vulnerability using Brene Brown’s discoveries as a shame researcher. “I define shame as the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging – something we've experienced, done, or failed to do makes us unworthy of connection. I don't believe shame is helpful or productive. When we experience shame, we feel disconnected and desperate for worthiness. Full of shame or the fear of shame, we are more likely to engage in self-destructive behaviours and to attack or shame others. In fact, shame is related to violence, aggression, depression, addiction, eating disorders and bullying”. - Brene Brown Suzanna also discusses the ‘empathy’ as the antidote to shame, and outlines how to identify and deal with it.
