334: Jasmine L. Holmes on How Shame Compounds, The Gospel of Shame, and How Resentment and Grief Shape Our Souls

Today, we’re with talking with author, educator, and speaker, Jasmine L. Holmes about how shame compounds, the “gospel” of shame, and how resentment and grief shape our souls. Shame has been a dominant theme in our cultural conversation for decades, but today, Jasmine is bringing a fresh take to the table. About shame, she said “Sometimes shame is hoisted on our shoulders in one big traumatic event, like a big boulder. Other times it adds weight to our shoulders incrementally, one pebble at a time, to where we barely notice the escalating weight.” I resonate with that description a lot, and I’m sure you do, too. So in just a minute, Jasmine will unpack that statement and so much more.
