Show Notes

What is humiliation?

Brene Brown, the author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines humiliation as:

The intensely painful feeling that we have been unjustly degraded, ridiculed, or put down, and that our identity has been demeaned or devalued.

Almost everyone has experienced the sensation of being humiliated. It's a feeling of helplessness, embarrassment, and rejection. Humiliation can quickly determine how we view ourselves in the years to come.

Dr. Cobb shares her own humiliation experiences and how they negatively impacted her life -- which extended to personal problems, eating disorders, and alcoholism.

For Dr. Cobb, humiliation doesn't necessarily have to be what other people see as it takes place in our minds and how it manifests in our bodies. But fortunately, she shares insights on how to get out of it!

Dr. Laura Cobb is a life coach who empowers high-achieving women to rid themselves of fear, guilt, and shame to proudly and confidently suit up, show up, step up, and speak up at every opportunity. She sees herself as an ordinary woman making extraordinary choices one day at a time.
