In this episode, Vanessa and Ariane dive into the complex world of shame—unpacking the deeply personal and often unspoken experiences of body shame, sexual shame, victim shame, and more. Together, they explore the duality of shame: its societal function, its emotional weight, and the radical power of embracing shamelessness. This heartfelt conversation was recorded during Sexual Awareness Month, making it the perfect moment to illuminate a topic that touches so many. Happy Sexual Awareness Month—help someone, empower someone, and above all, be kind.
