226 Releasing Shame—Lightening the Load in Midlife
Thu Feb 05 2026
Welcome to February’s Opening the Heart series. In this powerful episode, Tanya invites you into a gentle, guided journey to understand and release the shame many of us carry—especially around food, parenting, and self-worth.
Shame is often invisible but deeply felt. It hides in our cells, our breath, and our nervous system—and it keeps us small, silent, and stuck. Today’s episode includes a 10-minute meditation that gently helps you name and release shame through breath and compassionate self-awareness.
This is healing work. Emotional detox. A clearing of the heart space—so you can open more fully to love, joy, connection, and possibility.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
What shame is (and how it differs from guilt)
Where shame hides in the body
Why shame often intensifies in midlife and menopause
A guided shame-release meditation you can return to again and again
Come back to this practice anytime you feel the heaviness of shame creeping in. Your body knows how to release. Your heart knows how to heal.
🎧 Listen now to understand how to become the CEO of your health so that you can THRIVE after 45!!!
