Ep. 16 - Turning shame into our ally - with Calan Breckon

In this must-listen episode, I chat with Calan Breckon from Discovering Your Truth about how we can turn our shame into our ally. We all have shame and it's a POWERFUL behavioural driver for us gay men. Think about it: what would you do to stop the thing your most ashamed of from being discussed and judged freely on social media? Shame can be a key factor in our loneliness. We work so hard to hide it from the world that we never fully show up in our interactions with other humans. But we can turn our shame into our ally and use it to get the real connection we need in life. How? Get a coffee, settle in, press play and listen.
