Sex. If you're anything like me you grew up in a world that shoveled shame in heaps on top of sex.

On Episode 011 Tina Schermer Sellers joins us to talk about how we can move beyond shame and the negativty often associated with sex.

Episode 008 :: User Error Jan 08, 2018

Show notes

Have you ever noticed how many of us (or maybe ... how all of us) quickly deny what we may have done wrong when things break down, fall apart or stop working? It's possible this is connected to our refusal to acknowledge pain both in our world and in our lives. On this episode we consider how we might overcome the human propensity to find fault outside of ourselves, and in doing so find liberation in admitting our faults.
