  • What if shame isn't your enemy but your greatest ally for growth? In this episode of Whinypaluza, Rebecca Greene speaks with Dr. Abbie Maroño, a psychologist, behavior analyst, and internationally recognized expert in human behavior. Dr. Abbie shares her transformative journey from struggle to success and explores how shame, often misunderstood, can be redefined as a powerful catalyst for personal growth and empowerment. Her insights are drawn from personal experiences and her groundbreaking book, Work in Progress: The Road to Empowerment, The Journey Through Shame. Listen as Dr. Abbie unpacks the science behind emotions, the path to healing, and actionable strategies for overcoming life's challenges. Key Takeaways → Shame is not the antithesis of empowerment; it can drive meaningful change. → Understanding emotions scientifically is key to addressing trauma and shame. → Facing shame requires self-compassion and a willingness to reflect deeply. → Empowerment is an ongoing process of growth, not a final destination. → Parents can help children process shame by fostering emotional education.
