On this episode of the Support is Sexy podcast, I speak to my brilliant friend Dr. Zoe Shaw, author of the upcoming book—Stronger in the Difficult Places—about what she calls Complex Shame. Dr. Zoe defines Complex Shame as "a hidden emotional wound many women carry from childhood or relational trauma."

Dr. Zoe Shaw is a licensed psychotherapist, motivational speaker, podcast host of Stronger In The Difficult Places, relationship coach and fitness fanatic. She is a mom to 5, and is passionate about helping women overcome complex shame and find strength in difficult relationships, including that sometimes difficult relationship with themselves.

And let me tell you, we go deep into my own Complex Shame on this episode, which I didn't even realize I was wrestling with!

You'll learn:

• What is Complex Shame?
• How might it impact you?
• How do you realize it?
• Where does it come from?
• How do you heal it?
• How do you forgive yourself?
