I so enjoyed being interviewed by @michaelwingsit about my coming out story for his wonderful podcast @reachingoutpod. I had some surprising realizations and the story really lays the foundation for my shame work. Check it out: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcas…

🎙The podcast is back! In episode 92, I interview clinical psychologist Susan Campbell (@drsusan99) about emotional triggers and how to work with them in ourselves, our relationships, and groups. I wish they taught this in high school! Check it out here: discomfortable.net/susan-cam…

I’ve been doing pwyc shame coaching through The Stoa for the last few weeks and it’s been very rewarding. I can impart so much more about managing shame in these one-on-one sessions using issues from the client’s actual life. If you’re curious, check out: thestoa.ca/coaches
