Episode 24: Shame Resilience

with Jen Kind, LPC

Is shame keeping you from realizing your value?

In this episode, Brodie talks with Jennifer Kind, LPC, CDWF, EPC, a Psychotherapist and coach in Portland, OR who works with people cultivating more shame resilience, self-acceptance, and the ability to be kinder to themselves and others.

Jen believes shame holds people back; it is not a good motivator for change. Shame breeds fear, anxiety, depression, and paralysis.

It keeps us from becoming who we are; it keeps us from living our truth.
