What happens when you let shame define you? For Elise…it meant accidentally becoming a German exchange student. Woops! In this DEEPLY personal (and slightly unhinged) episode, Elise shares how one moment of self-doubt spiraled into an identity crisis, complete with a fake accent. But this episode isn’t just about the laughs—it’s about how shame can sneakily shape who we think we are and how to unravel those masks with compassion and curiosity.

We dive into:

The difference between guilt and shame—and why it matters
Why shame can be the ultimate identity thief
Steps to reclaim your authenticity (without needing to fake a foreign passport)
How to reframe your past with love instead of judgment

Plus, Heidi shares a powerful mantra to love yourself through the mess, and we give you tools to check in with your intuition before performing your way through life. Because you're already worthy—no accent required.

Ready to stop hiding and start thriving? Tune in, laugh with us, maybe cringe with us, and walk away with a little more love for the girl you used to be.
