This is part 1 of 2, and this week I talk about how faith can be one of the places shame hides deepest — and one of the places it heals most completely. In this episode, I'm looking honestly at how religious teaching can sometimes turn "I made a mistake" into "I am fundamentally broken," and how the same traditions that can wound us also carry some of the oldest tools we have for healing shame: grace, confession, forgiveness, prayer, and contemplative practice. Whether you hold a strong faith, a complicated one, or none at all, this episode connects those old practices to the same research we've been talking about.
