Episode Description
What’s the difference between shame and guilt? Who and what can create those feelings? How can shame manifest in your life in different ways, and how can you handle it? In this episode, host Lexi Sylver and guest Rahim Thawer explore the ways in which we can learn to develop feelings of shame and guilt, and the ways in which those can impact different spheres of our personal lives. They talk about how feeling shy or embarrassed are just some of the smaller ways in which we can feel shame on a day to day basis. They provide advice to live your life authentically and feel confident with your sexuality, and how to learn to cope with feelings of shame to live a more fulfilled life. Rahim also talks about how shame isn’t always a bad thing and explains what we can learn from feeling different kinds of shame in our lives. Lexi and Rahim also answer real-life questions from the audience during Letters to Lexi.
