How Owning Our Shame & Vulnerability Can Help Us Live an Authentic Life

SHAME. We all feel it. We all experienced it. But almost always, we're afraid to discuss shameful things and events in our lives because we don't want to be seen as WEAK and IMPERFECT. Ayaw mong may masabi sa pagkatao mo. On this episode, I invited Coach Rezza Custodio-Soriano of @femmepowerph and we discussed the importance of owning our shame & vulnerability and how it can help us live an authentic & empowered life.
