There's no naming and shaming on this episode of Sunday Sanctuary. Instead, we're here to name what causes us shame and realise that we can move through it. To kick off this episode, Petra brings back an old segment of the show called Atlas of the Heart, where Grace McArthur digs into Brené Brown's book of the same name. Later on, Rev. Spanky Moore joins to explore the experience of shame and one experience he had of moving through.

In-between there is a sacred text from author Hanya Yanagihara, a time for self-reflection and waiata from Sade and Michael Kiwanuka. Haere mai!

Brené Brown's shame resilience exercise:

1. Recognise shame - Can you recognise what it feels like? What triggered it?
2. Become aware - Can you reality check the messages shame is telling you? Are they actually true?
3. Reach out - Share your story with a trustworthy person. Open yourself up to receiving empathy.
4. Unpack - Explain how it made you feel.
