SHAME SHIFT

SEASON FOUR OF THE GIVING GIFTS PODCAST

At the end of season three I really was not sure if there would be a next season of the podcast. After three months of really assessing and taking time to listen to the world around me, I have never been more sure or excited for a season than I am right now. The hope in this season, just like every other season, is to create space for real people to share real stories as we all navigate how to use our gifts in this world. Unlike any other season we will have one theme that carries us through 14 episodes together..the theme of season four is shifting the conversation around suffering from shame to possibility. A season that will explore this theme through stories from guests, a guide that invites you to do the same, and weekly considerations that I hope will make this season more interactive. My hope for this podcast is that it inspires others to create space in their lives. A space that is inclusive, and considerate, and expansive, where all suffering and all celebrating, and all the inbetween can exist. A space where you know how loved, needed, and valued you are, and in return, you create that space for others. This is season four of the giving gifts podcast and im so thankful you’re here.”-Cas
