In this episode, Dr. Dunn delves into the sensitive topics of shame and guilt that many mothers face. She shares personal experiences and insights on how to navigate through feelings of unworthiness and self-doubt. Dr. Dunni emphasizes the importance of self-love, empathy, and sharing experiences to overcome shame and move forward with confidence. She encourages listeners to embrace their mistakes, recognize their worth, and strive for personal growth.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• It is crucial to show empathy towards oneself and others, focusing on behaviour rather than identity.

• Don't keep experiences of shame a secret, as secrecy can make shame more powerful. Sharing with trusted individuals can help alleviate shame.

• Laughter can be a healing tool when dealing with shame, as long as it is done with self-compassion and not self-deprecation.

• Just like in the movie "Shawshank Redemption," moving through shame can be likened to crawling through a sewer - uncomfortable but necessary for rejuvenation and growth.

• Despite mistakes and criticism, it is essential to have faith, confidence, and belief in oneself as more than enough to overcome shame and move forward positively.

BEST MOMENTS

"We make mistakes. We're human after all, but in the midst of our mistakes, we are amazing mothers."

"Shame in itself can be extremely dangerous... It does the exact opposite because now this person starts to feel I'm a failure."

"Empathy, not sympathy, empathy. You see, don't feel sorry for yourself, but feel the love for yourself."

"When you share, it takes a huge load off your chest. And it also depletes the power of shame."

"You might have made mistakes. Yes, you might have been told you need to be ashamed. I want to tell you today that you can turn this around."

Dr. Dunni encourages listeners to periodically assess their choices, emphasizing the need for self-reflection and the potential benefits of embracing change.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• It is important to regularly analyze the things we are holding onto to ensure they align with our goals, values, and purpose.

"I made a mistake. And I know it's a very hard thing to say. Many people think that when you say I made a mistake, it means you're a failure."

"There are some times that we hold on to certain things for more than five minutes. It could be five hours, five days, five weeks, five months, five years, five decades."

"If you have a bird and you let it go, if it comes back to you, it's meant to be yours. If it doesn't, it was never meant to be."

She metaphorically compares mothers to generals leading their armies, emphasizing the need for mothers to protect themselves with an "armor" built from their life experiences. Dr. Dunni discusses the significance of recognizing and addressing internal struggles, encouraging mothers to see, ask, feel, and express deep love for themselves to determine if they are safe to remove their armor and prioritize their well-being.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Expressing deep love for oneself leads to compassion and kindness, giving permission to take off the emotional armor and prioritize self-care.

• It is essential for mothers to share and spread the message of self-care and well-being with other mothers to create a supportive community.

BEST MOMENTS

"Seeing ourselves is the same and similar to our increasing self-awareness."

In today's episode, Dr. Dunni delves into the topic of weaknesses and vulnerabilities. She discusses the common trend of feeling ashamed or apologizing for not knowing something, which can impact mental well-being and self-image. Dr. Dunni emphasizes the importance of reframing weaknesses as potential superpowers and encourages listeners to embrace their vulnerabilities. She emphasizes the essence of authentic living and the importance of guiding children to identify and work on their weaknesses while celebrating their strengths.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

"The ability to see your weakness and talk about it is where it's almost like you opening up your heart, knowing that yes, there will be some trolls, there will be some nasty people."

"There's always room for improvement. And if you had all the resources, the time, the mentors, everybody, you can be great at everything, which is well, but that's, you probably need about three or four or five lifetimes to do that."

"Our children are all different. And there's some of them that are fishes, some of them are monkeys, some of them are horses, and some of them are birds."
