The Giving Gifts Podcast - Shame Shift - Shame & sustainability with Nicole Caudana
This episode is really just the beginning of a much-needed and very refreshing perspective from Nicole Caudana on how the conversation around sustainability in our world needs to begin shifting.
As The Giving Gifts and Mindful Metals Studio (Nicole's incredible small business) merge together, this is actually a conversation Nicole and I are having often, and together, we decided it would be really fun to invite you into this conversation with us.
If there are any changes worth making in this world, shouldn't those changes be worth sustaining?
This is a question that I have spent years considering when it comes to integrating mental health and trauma-informed care tools and resources into the lives of individuals and communities globally and a question Nicole has become an expert on in the world of ocean conservation, entrepreneurship, and teaching.
It took shifting the shame that comes with not having it all figured out to get us to a place of being open to learning from and with one another, a gift that we are so very eager and excited to share with you.

THE SHAME SHIFT CONSIDERATION GUIDE
You know when someone asks you to share your story and you have no idea where to begin? The hope for this consideration guide is to allow you to take a look at the challenges you’ve gone through and incorporate the themes of suffering into your story in a way that shifts suffering from something you don’t want to talk about to when you do have the opportunity to talk about it you feel confident, secure, and open to the possibilities your story holds.
