Transforming the Shame Triangle with Jessica Fern & David Cooley
Tue Feb 03 2026
In this episode of The Human Beauty Movement Podcast, Jessica Fern and David Cooley unpack the transformative power of understanding and working through shame, revealing how it can quietly undermine our relationships and sense of self. Guided by Jennifer Norman, the conversation explores the "shame triangle"—an internal pattern of critic, victim, and escaper—and offers hope, practical tools, and new language for transforming shame into self-love and deeper connection. Listeners are invited to reconsider shame not as a flaw, but as a signal pointing to healing, authenticity, and richer connection with themselves and others.
