Description

Shame is not something we’re born with — it’s something we inherit, absorb, and internalise as we grow.For many survivors of childhood abuse, shame behaves like an acquired injury: one that deepens as awareness grows, and one that silently shapes identity, boundaries, relationships, and self-worth.In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Kabinga Mazaba shares the moment her adult life became suddenly different. After decades of carrying secrets, pain, and silence, her body collapsed under the weight of everything she had been holding. In an emergency room, she realised she wasn’t dying — she was suffocating under shame.This episode explores:✨ How shame becomes layered through childhood, adolescence, and adulthood✨ Why repeated life events reinforce our deepest (and false) beliefs about ourselves✨ The courage it takes to unlearn inherited identities✨ Self-forgiveness as a foundational step toward self-love✨ Breaking generational patterns and raising children with truth, safety, and openness✨ Reclaiming life through choice, voice, and compassionKabinga reminds us that healing doesn’t erase what happened — it rewrites what we believe about ourselves. Her story is a testament to courage, truth-telling, and the radical power of choosing a new way forward.Trigger warning: This episode contains discussions of childhood abuse, shame, and trauma.
