Homeward: The Sovereign Business Podcast

Welcome back to the Homeward Podcast. Today's episode is about a truth I’ve been carrying, one that I'm finally ready to look at and face head on. I'm sharing about the decision to close a chapter of my life, and the story that has lived underneath it all of this time.  Today's conversation is an invitation to walk toward your own truth, even when it’s painful or dismantles the story you thought your life would follow.

Welcome back to the Homeward podcast. 

I am honored to share today's conversation with the incredibly wise + paradigm-shifting David Bedrick. 

David Bedrick, JD, Dipl. PW, is a teacher, counselor, and attorney. He grew up in a family
marked by violence. While his father’s brutality was physical and verbal, his mother’s denial and
gaslighting had its own covert power. This formative context introduced David early to the
etiology of shame and instilled an urge to unshame.

Professionally, he was on the faculty for the University of Phoenix and the Process Work
Institute in the U.S. and Poland and is the founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame-based
Studies where he trains therapists, coaches and healers and offers workshops for individuals to
further their own personal development.

David writes for Psychology Today and is the author of three books: Talking Back to Dr. Phil:
Alternatives to Mainstream Psychology and Revisioning Activism: Bringing Depth, Dialogue, and
Diversity to Individual and Social Change. His new book is You Can’t Judge a Body by Its
Cover: 17 Women’s Stories of Hunger, Body Shame and Redemption.

Today's conversation serves as its own masterclass in unshaming. You'll hear David help me tease out my own inner critic and walk us through the unshaming process to find the flower (the gift) in our pain. 

I can't wait for you to listen.
