Welcome to Stir It Up! Today we have Dr. Lily Kpobi joining us for an insightful discussion.

Have you ever found yourself stuck in a cycle of negative self-talk, unable to move past something you did or how you feel about yourself? Today, we dive deep into the emotions of shame and guilt—two powerful, sometimes paralyzing emotions.

Guilt involves feeling bad about something we have done, while shame is more about feeling bad about oneself as a person. Guilt says, "I did something dreadful," and shame says, "I am dreadful."

Jeremy Sutton, in his article on the shame resilience theory, references Dr. Brené Brown: "He talks about how most of us fear and avoid shame because it makes us uncomfortable. But there lies the problem, shame derives its power from being unspeakable."

So let’s speak about it, and in speaking, hopefully, we take away some of the shame.

Join us as we discuss:

Why do we have emotions?

What is the difference between guilt and shame?

What are some scenarios that birth emotions of guilt?


Is it safe to assume that shame is a secondary emotion, often from some form of inadequacy?


How do shame and guilt influence our relationships?

How does shame show up in adulthood, and how does it impact living a full life?

When you think about guilt, what makes it such a powerful emotion?

Considering that guilt is a self-conscious emotion, what are the requirements for guilt to come alive?

Is having an active conscience a prerequisite to experiencing a sense of guilt for one’s actions?

What are some of the biggest myths about guilt?

How does one rid themselves of feelings of guilt?

Looking at yourself in the mirror: How important is it to face the truth about who we are, what we feel, and what we do?
