Spilling the Tea on Embarrassment vs. Shame

Jonni and Maria talk about the differences between embarrassment and shame and spill the tea on some of our award-worthy embarrassing moments. Whether from middle school plays to brazen attempts to bond with the cool kids. Whether it’s attending the wrong party for almost 30 minutes (and drinking their wine) or the everyday embarrassments we all feel. Jonni and Maria share the laughs, physiological reactions and emotional scars that stay with us, how to take away the power of embarrassment, how sometimes embarrassment can lead to shame when handled badly - and explore the moments that remain with us. We break down an "official" difference between embarrassment and shame, and of course, cite Brene Brown.

Plus, kid updates, slumber parties, Alcatraz visits, what the hell is "snappy casual?, Maria's new book coming in September,, and more tomfoolery.
