    6-006: The Weight of Shame

    How does shame show up in your life, and what would it feel like to let it go? In this episode, we explore the deep, often hidden impact of shame—where it originates, how it shapes our thoughts and actions, and why it can feel so overwhelming. Together, we’ll uncover ways to recognize shame’s influence and take steps toward releasing its hold. Whether it’s tied to past experiences or societal expectations, shame doesn’t have to define your story. 🎙️ Join us as we discuss how to lighten the weight of shame and embrace a more authentic, liberated self. 💬 What’s one fear you’re ready to overcome?

    6-005: Does Fear Have a Grip on You?

    Fear is a powerful force. Whether it’s fear of failure, rejection, or the unknown, it can hold us back, magnify risk, and make progress feel impossible. Thankfully, the good news is that the fear we experience doesn’t have to control us! In this week's episode, Gillian & Laura talk about the recognized and unrecognized ways that fear impacts our lives and brainstorm the ways that we can release our fears and embrace the unknown. It’s time to stop letting fear dictate our choices and start living with intention and courage. 💬 What’s one fear you’re ready to overcome?

    6-004: The Stone-Age Brain

    Have you ever felt like your brain is stuck in 'survival mode'? This week, Gillian and Laura are back, and they are diving into the first chapter of Dr. Merry's book "Rebecoming". This episode discusses our 'Stone-Age Brain' and how living in survival mode has shaped us and how it still influences us today. Learning more about our survival instincts and understanding the emotions that trigger them provides us with opportunities to reflect and address how we desire to change and grow in this stage of our lives. So, what's your survival instinct? How has it impacted you and your relationships over time? As we take this journey of #rebecoming together, consider what responses are no longer serving you and how you might want to make changes in this area of your life. Lastly, we are not going to be covering Chapter 2 on the podcast as it's a review of the attachment theories, which we covered in a previous episode with great insight from Dr. Merry. Check out Season 1 - Episode 019, as it will give great context about attachment and be very helpful as we continue to reflect on #rebecoming together! https://www.thefullylived.life/019-healthy-parents-healthy-kids/ Watch on Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@thefullylivedlife⁠⁠⁠⁠ Dr. Merry’s website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://drmerry.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ Dr. Merry’s book: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/Drmerry⁠⁠⁠ (click on shop) Dr. Lin & Associates: ⁠⁠⁠⁠http://drlinandassociates.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ Gillian’s Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://gillianmcshane.com⁠⁠⁠⁠

    6-002: The Cost of Showing Up

    Have you ever considered the true cost of “showing up”? For some of us, that may be the way we show up online and for others, it’s the way we show up in our workplace or relationships. When we share our story, it often comes with a mental and emotional toll that some may not fully understand. In this episode, @drmerrylin is getting honest about the process of writing of #rebecoming and the true cost that’s come with sharing her story. Join her for an honest conversation about the vulnerability, resilience, and the power of storytelling as she discusses the struggles, the wins, and everything in between. If you haven’t checked out the first episode of season 6, we highly recommend doing that first! You won’t wanna to miss it!
