✨ Behind the Interview: What I Didn’t Say Out Loud

In the interview with Voyage Denver’s Bold Journey . . . I didn’t say out loud how often I see high-performing women—executives, practitioners, creatives—carry shame in their cells. Not because they’ve failed, but because they’ve over-functioned for too long. Over-functioning is a credibility gap with yourself.

Should’a Could’a: Shush the Critic. Bring on Your Inner Coach.

This isn’t toxic positivity. This is strategic compassion. Your inner coach doesn’t sugarcoat—it guides. It says:

“Hey, did you catch that note to self?”

“Let’s pay attention to that.”

“Whoa, let’s pause before replying right now.”

This voice helps you observe instead of react. It invites self-awareness, not self-judgment. And that’s where the shift begins.

Permission to Pivot: Reclaiming Your Right to Shift

We map our days before we even get out of bed. Plans, preferences, expectations. And then—life invites us to pivot.

From the moment you put your feet on the floor in the morning and walk to the bathroom, kitchen and out the door on your way to work, school, shopping, errands—Everyday living is based on a plan.  Then something happens and you pivot. …..

The garden is a boundless teacher!  We can learn from plants — unexpected windy conditions, hail, scorching heat, pests that land on them and they cannot move!  “When plants endure stress from weather and predators, they actually develop properties that keep the animals that snack on them healthier and more resilient.”

That shame trail—stretching backward through generations—was often amplified by hardship, depression, war, and loss. It's easy to inherit a survival mindset that distorts grace and limits healthy boundaries. Healing begins with recognizing: You are not broken.

Shame Runs Deep

Shame runs deep. Its stigma—what someone says or does to you, often projecting their own wounds—can become entangled with your sense of self.

Before we confront shame, we must understand its roots. Shame is a blend of words, actions, and judgments imposed by someone in no rightful place to define who you are. In its harshest form, it’s loud, blatant, and deeply hurtful.
