This episode is one of the most raw, riveting, and liberating conversations I’ve ever had. I sit down with performance coach, trauma therapist, and author of Unapologetic, Annalie Howling, to remind us we’re not alone in the shame stories we carry, and the powerful process of setting them down for good.

We talk about the difference between shame and guilt, the trauma responses that keep us stuck, and symptoms you might be living with caused by the shame you’re holding in your body. Annalie shares her deeply personal journey through self-harm, divorce, reclaiming her sensuality, and ultimately becoming the most unapologetic version of herself.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to shrink, hide, or apologize for who you are—this episode is your permission slip to take your power back.
