Lately, Iâve been reflecting on shame and how quietly it can travel from one generation to the next. I started thinking about the ways we may have been shamed ourselves â and how easily we can pass that same language on without even realizing it.
But the cycle can end with us. đ
We can correct without condemning.
We can guide without shaming.
We can choose compassion â for ourselves and for others.
What was given to me in shame, I will not give to you.
What I give you instead is compassion.
