Shame is the feeling that you’re not enough. It is what holds us back from being
where we most want to be. Whitney Lauritsen’s guest in this episode helps us
overcome this hurdle by developing shame resiliency. She sits down with Kyira
Wackett [https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyira-wackett-86004279/], a passionate
mental health therapist and Founder at Adversity Rising
[https://adversityrising.com/]. Kyira believes that all of us have the capacity
to author our own stories and relinquish the holds of shame, fear, and anxiety
if we can learn to do the hard work, sit in the discomfort to face our true
selves, and trust the process. Learn to let go of shame and have the willingness
to fail and flail. Follow along in this great conversation as Kyira shares tips
on how to become resilient.

Shame Resiliency And The Ability To Be Human Together With Kyira Wackett

There are many elements in our lives that affect our well-being and there are
many ways that we can explore them. One avenue to optimal self-care is having
open, honest conversations about what it means to be well. Navigate love and
relationships, purpose and meaning, mental health and wellness, success and
failure, and all of those things that make us human with Whitney Lauritsen on
This Might Get Uncomfortable. Whitney has over 13 years of professional
experience in the health, wellness, and entertainment industries. She guides you
through the confusion and the curiosity, the suffering and the unfulfilled
potential, and the questions of why we’re here and what we’re doing. Join her
each week as she shares her perspectives on wellness and has radically
authentic, insightful conversations about life with special guests. This Might
Get Uncomfortable, so prepare to dive deep into the rabbit hole. Nothing is
off-limits here! Life presents us with challenges every single day. Many of us
struggle to make life feel worthwhile, meaningful, and peaceful. We’re
confronted in our relationships, careers, faith, and the health of our body,
mind, and emotions. We often have questions in our minds that go unanswered, and
sometimes, we don’t even want the answers. We just want to have a really
unfiltered discussion, let it all out, be truly heard so we can process our
emotions. We want to talk about our deepest passions and secret longings, share
our unfulfilled dreams and big goals, and inquire into the mysteries of life. If
you’re in that place right now, we invite you to join Whitney here on This Might
Get Uncomfortable.
