18 Shame & secrecy (and sex!)

In the first of a mini-series about shame, we aren’t holding
back! The feeling of shame has kept parts of Ken hidden from Joli
for years even though we’ve been consciously working on it. This
isn’t surprising because shame encourages secret-keeping.


Confidence has been masking shame in our home even with a careful
eye towards it.


Shame has been showing up in unexpected spots and when it does we
often feel disconnected right when we most want to feel seen and
loved.


No holds barred in this episode, sexual shame has been hiding too
long, so listen in if you’re someone who has ever struggled with
shame or the secrets it might encourage. Ken brought his
vulnerability right to the forefront this week, hoping to share a
story that will help others.
