The thing is… shame doesn’t create transformation. 😞
It does the opposite. It suppresses you, pushes you down, and shuts off your growth, your creativity, and your ability to manifest what you actually want.
People often confuse shame 😔 and guilt. They’re two very different things—but they get tangled together, especially when it comes to how we think about our mistakes or flaws.
Here’s the kicker: lots of people who are suffering from shame prefer to talk about guilt instead. Why? Because guilt feels “cleaner,” “safer,” less dirty. It’s a mask we wear to avoid confronting the uncomfortable truth that we feel bad at our core.
But here’s the truth—shame only has the power you give it. Ignoring it, masking it with guilt, or pretending it isn’t there doesn’t make it go away. It quietly drains your energy, blocks your creativity, and keeps you from calling in the life you want to create.
The antidote isn’t perfection, and it’s not ignoring what you feel. It’s noticing. Naming it. Feeling it. And choosing a different response.
Next time shame creeps in, ask yourself: “Is this really guilt I’m feeling? Or is it shame trying to hold me back?” The answer will tell you what to do next—whether it’s a small act of self-compassion, a boundary, or simply laughing in its face.
💡 Remember: transformation comes from awareness and choice, not suppression.
Notice shame. Don’t hide behind guilt.
