We've all kept pieces of ourselves hidden. Whether it's something we did, a thought we've had, or something we just wouldn't want others to know.

But those pieces? They only stay hidden to others. For ourselves, they begin to chip away at us. And that's where shame lives — not in what we did, but in who we think we are because of it.

This episode opens Part 3 of Honestly? It's an Inside Job with a distinction that changes everything: guilt and shame are not the same thing. Drawing on the work of Brené Brown, this episode unpacks where each one lives — guilt in our actions, shame in our identity — and what happens when we're finally willing to give the hidden pieces a voice. Including a look at the three versions of ourselves we carry: the public self, the private self, and the therapeutic self — and why that third one matters most.
