How Shame Keeps You From Your Purpose: An Interview with Alli Worthington:: [ Episode 30]

Sep 18, 2020

Today we are talking with my friend, my coach, my mentor, Alli Worthington. Alli is a wife and mom of five sons. She lives outside of Nashville in a loud, messy, testosterone-filled house with the only golden retriever who refuses to retrieve.

She’s also a coach who is obsessed with helping women be more successful in their careers, businesses, and entrepreneurial pursuits. She has a new book called Standing Strong.

In this episode,  we continue the conversation about shame. God created a plan and purpose for us all.  Shame wants to keep your dream hidden. Instead of creating a culture of try, shame creates a culture of doubt. We become hyper focused on our flaws, failures, and limitations.

We also talk about:

• Shame prevents us from pursuing our calling
  
• Why shame is never helpful
  
• Her new book Standing Strong
  
• The difference of humility and shame

Favorite Quotes:

1. Shame is a feeling that we are inherently wrong. We confuse humility with beating ourselves up emotionally and mentally. Shame doesn’t lead to growth. Humility creates growth and change.
   
2. When we are self-focused, we become self-absorbed. Shame causes us to focus on ourselves.
   
3. Shame leads to anxiety, this anxiety causes us to doubt ourselves and the calling that God has for each of us.
   
4. Whenever you make a decision, ask yourself if this is going to please and honor God? Or, is this going to make the enemy happy?
