WEEKEND NUGGET - Why do we shame people?

October 22, 2021 • Peter Maestrey

In this episode, l take a moment to look at shaming from a different perspective. I look at it from all the conversations that have taken place since the divorce. The commonalities we all share and the resemblances, of which, shaming is one of them. I shared how it affected me once my divorce was known. The price I had to pay emotionally when I found out, and how I managed it after I was aware of it. The thing about shaming is that more often than not, we don't know it exists. Then when we find out, we blame ourselves, or others for not knowing, which is silly.

I hope this episode brings you closer to understanding that shaming has a pattern, and that when you know what that pattern is, you can have a voice as to whether it will affect you, or infect you.
