A really honest look at something I’m sure we all feel, Leanne. Shame and its sidekick, imposter syndrome, have such deep roots and are so hard to shake off.
It surprises me when women I truly admire admit they have the same struggles, but it’s helpful to know.
Thanks so much for mentioning my Fading to Grey piece. Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you for sharing this vulnerable post, Leanne, and thank you for sharing mine. Shame is an insidious emotion that causes us to police each other when it shouldn't. Sometimes, we can feel ashamed of what we do and learn from it, but when we become ashamed of ourselves and something we can't change, that's when it gets problematic.
I think you illustrate well all the shame that's happening within and outside of the publishing industry, and I look forward to more writings from you ❤️
I think this is such a great read, Leanne. I love your quote:
“Shame should be reserved for the things we choose to do,
not the circumstances that life puts on us.”
