“I feel that I have been called to help others shed the shame that life has put on them and restore the resiliency they were born with in order to reach their full potential in life.”
My keynote, Sunday Dinners, Moonshine, and Men, based on my memoir published in 2023. I share stories from my book that illustrate the ways that shame can inhibit our ability to live authenticallty, and can sometimes lead to struggles with alcoholism and addiction. I offer an overview of the connections between childhood trauma, shame and addiction, and, finally, provide some of the tools that I’ve learned during my 25+ years in recovery.
Learning Objectives:
“To see him talk about [his story] today was amazing because it was like the book came to life.”
Studies show that adverse events experienced in childhood, such as poverty, abuse, and neglect often result in deep-seated feelings of shame. Shame affects our relationships and prevents us from being fully engaged in our lives. In this program, I share my own experiences as a victim of shame and a recovering alcoholic, leading audiences through my five step HEALSTM process to developing humility, recovering our innate resiliency, and achieving authentic self empowerment.
