We’ve all felt that feeling—the ache of unworthiness.
“I’m not enough.” “There’s something wrong with me.” “I’m uniquely bad.” “It’s all my fault.”
Shame (the feeling we experience when we believe we’re bad, wrong, unworthy, broken or somehow not enough) shows up differently for each of us, but it’s universal.
We all feel shame from time to time. We feel shut down, checked out, and alone. Flooded with unworthiness. Wanting to numb out. Wishing we could disappear.
No matter how our shame expresses, there’s one common ingredient: suffering.
Here are some of the behaviors we can develop as a result of unhealed shame:
Workaholism, over-achieving & controlling behavior
People-pleasing, codependency & boundarylessness
Judgment, blame, gossip & revenge
Taking things personally, defensiveness, comparison & impostor syndrome
Self-sabotage, procrastination, manipulation, lying & secret-keeping
Unworthiness, self-abandonment & fear of rejection
Shame is painful.
It’s one of the most powerful emotional experiences we know! When we fall into shame, it spirals us downward in what can feel like an endless and inescapable cycle of torture. Shame hurts, and that hurt often drives us to treat ourselves and others badly. And somehow, the whole time, shame has us convinced we’re so “bad” at our core that we “deserve” to suffer.
Listen: you don’t deserve to be trapped in pain.
Nobody does. Self-love and happiness are your birthright, and contrary to what you might have come to believe, you feeling shame doesn’t serve anything positive. In fact, your freedom, self-acceptance and joy are the greatest gifts you can offer yourself and the world!
You have the power to transform your shame.
The shame you experience isn’t your fault, and it’s not a life sentence. Most of our shame is inherited from unhelpful cultural and familial norms, and false belief systems we unconsciously internalized. We can’t always control when or why we feel shame, but we can learn to compassionately work through and heal our shame when it comes up.
It’s time to release your shame and step into the truth of who you are.
You get to decide the extent to which shame shapes who you are and how you live. You deserve to be radiantly self-accepting and unapologetically free. If you’re ready to lovingly transform your shame and reconnect to your wholeness, come join us on this Shame Liberation journey!

Identify and become mindful of the presence of shame in your life
Understand and prevent the negative consequences of shame-based living
Catch yourself in a shame spiral, and take steps to slow the spin and compassionately climb out

Interrupt and shift shame-based thoughts and actions into grounded, positive beliefs and behaviors
Trace back and heal the true source of your shame in any situation
Dismantle the operating system of shame you inherited, and replace it with life-affirming paradigms
what Students are saying…
““This program really opened my eyes to the sneaky ways that shame has crept into my life and affected my relationship with myself. Erin is a caring, compassionate and wonderful guide into your darkest, most vulnerable places, and I highly recommend this workshop to anyone who has an interest in improving their inner life and helping to create a healthier external life and better relationships.””
““When I signed up for Erin’s Shame Liberation course, I did so from a place of ‘How do I fix these feelings of shame so I can stop f***ing everything up?’ but as I’m finishing the course, I’m finding that it’s instead been a course on reclaiming my humanity. I am allowed to be imperfect. I need to be imperfect. All I can ever be is imperfect, and there’s beauty and freedom in that.””
““I am so grateful for the gift of Erin’s presence and teaching, and for her love, patience, guidance, and gentleness. What she does in every session is nothing short of inspiring. Doing this deep inner work to heal shame in community is the best gift!””
This program is designed for deep healing in a supportive and inclusive virtual community setting.
The Shame Liberation Program consists of 8 learning sessions (2 hours each), 1 office hours session (2 hours), and 4 group coaching calls (90 minutes each).
Sessions take place live on Zoom—participants get lifetime access to replays of all sessions.
Learning Sessions follow a curriculum (see below): we’ll cover the fundamentals of shame liberation via digital educational materials, partner activities, coaching demos and group discussion.
Group Coaching Calls are experiential and organic: they are a space for participants to bring personal shame-based challenges from their life, and witness and support one another’s growth. Erin offers intuitive coaching to help participants transform their shame and apply the program tools effectively.
Office Hours is an open space for live Q&A about anything covered in the program.

““I loved Erin’s compassionate teaching style and her ability to create safe spaces for healing. I loved the reframing of shame energetically as a friend rather than an enemy, which I had never thought of before. It made me more curious and compassionate towards my shame. I learned tools to use in my daily life to deal with shame in a healthy way.””
““The Shame Liberation Program has truly been life-changing! I cannot thank Erin enough. The combination of her knowledge, compassion, and intuitive facilitation along with the overall accessibility of the structure and materials made for a magical experience. I felt like my work during this time just FLOWED. I felt held, seen, and heard, and was able to learn, listen, and grow—all because of the beautiful container Erin created!””
““I was tremendously impressed by the way the program was organized and presented. It is clear that Erin has practiced this work—only someone who has wrestled with these tools could lay out such a clear and helpful roadmap. I was very pleased with the sense of safety and support Erin cultivated in the group, and I felt uplifted by the earnest good hearts evident in my classmates. I marveled at how adept Erin is in using her empathy and intuition to coach participants.””
““Erin gave me the language and tools to not only contextualize my pain, but move through it in a gentle, sustainable way. The veil was lifted and safe space for transformation was gifted. I’m so grateful to everyone for their authenticity! The group experience normalized so much of what had previously been isolating me.””
