Reflecting on the year behind us can be a heavy task. ☁️ Often, the feelings that surface during reflection aren't just about what happened – they’re about how we see ourselves.

In our latest blog post, we explore the subtle but powerful difference between Guilt and Shame. While they feel similar, they point us in very different directions Understanding the distinction can change your entire perspective as you move into the new year. It’s not about judging the feeling – it’s about noticing where it’s taking you. 🤔 Link in bio!
