Episode 8:
Good Girls Swallow Shame and Hope It’s Nourishment
In this raw and honest episode, Liz explores the ways shame, hypervigilance, and good girl conditioning shaped her relationship to sexuality, pleasure, and power. Through reflections on childhood trauma, intrusive thoughts, inherited family patterns, and her later reclamation through tantra, internal family systems, and embodied practice, she reveals how shame can disconnect us from our bodies and our life force.
This episode is a real conversation about what happens when pleasure and danger become intertwined, how silence and family shame get carried across generations, and what becomes possible when we begin to meet those tender places with honesty, curiosity, and compassion. At its heart, this is an episode about reclaiming authenticity, setting boundaries, and refusing self-abandonment.
