6 Signs of TOXIC Shame, NOT Healthy Shame

Shame isn’t always bad—but when it turns toxic, it can quietly take over your life. Unlike healthy shame, which keeps us grounded and accountable, toxic shame whispers that you are the problem—not your actions. In this video, we break down 6 subtle but powerful signs of toxic shame, from chronic self-blame to feeling unworthy of love or success. If you've ever apologized for simply existing or felt like you're never "enough," this might hit closer than expected. Let's talk about it—and how to start letting go.
