SHAMEBOOTH: Speaking Your Shame to Find Healing

We can change, we have the power to make significant changes in our lives, and I feel like I'm so fortunate that I found this, you know, because it saved my marriage...
Imagine stepping into a phone booth, not to make a call, but to speak your deepest shame out loud. In this episode of the SHE RECOVERS Podcast, artist and activist Paula Williams chats with host Taryn Strong about her groundbreaking art installation, SHAMEBOOTH. This unique live experience encourages participants to voice their shame, fostering a sense of healing and connection. Paula opens up about how recovery has reshaped her personal relationships and the challenges of workaholism.
She and Taryn share a mutual admiration for Brené Brown, delving into the importance of vulnerability in the healing process. The conversation touches on the difference between shame and guilt, with Paula highlighting that while guilt is about actions, shame strikes at our sense of self-worth. One of the most powerful aspects of this episode is Paula's emphasis on community.
She shares how her own journey through shame led her to create SHAMEBOOTH as a space for others to connect and heal. Whether through recovery programs or supportive groups, finding a community can be a game-changer in the recovery process. Paula also discusses the role of intention setting in personal growth. By setting clear intentions, she believes we can transform our lives and overcome feelings of unworthiness.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that owning our shame and being vulnerable can lead to profound healing. Tune in to hear Paula's inspiring story and discover how speaking your shame can be the first step towards transformation.
