Each of us is constantly unfolding, unraveling, a work in progress. We all find ourselves on a journey, one with difficult times and circumstances, detours, disappointments, and many, many opportunities to retreat from experience and hide. In such moments, we also have the choice to transform, to begin to shed our painful self-concepts. We have the choice to unfold.
Deirdre Maloney, my guest on this episode of Decide to Transform, has chosen self-acceptance and unfolding. Join us as she openly shares her struggles. These included low self-worth, depression, anxiety, and drug abuse. She was able to rise above these setbacks and now lives the life of her dreams.
Central to Deirdre's life and work is the journey out of shame. Many of us experience shame, for a multitude of reasons, and we can all attest to the fact that it is crippling. Through sport, writing, and other practices, Deirdre has moved away from shame and now helps others to do it, too.
Transformation is an unfolding. It is also a project. Tune in to Deirdre as she shares her perspective as one who has lived this struggle, and has moved beyond it.
