“I lived with a shame cloud for 41 years.”
What if the weight you carry isn’t yours to bear forever? In this episode, you meet Jill Schultz — a woman who lived under a “shame cloud” for 41 years, hiding a deeply painful secret while building businesses, pouring wine, and showing up with a smile. As a child, Jill experienced sexual trauma and spent decades acting, hiding, and believing she was alone in her pain. Then one day, she dared to whisper the truth aloud. In that moment, something shifted. Through healing, faith, and community, she discovered that vulnerability can be a doorway to freedom. Her story reminds us that trauma does not define our worth, and what was once buried can become the spark that lights the path for others.
If you have ever felt unworthy, stuck, or silenced — know this: your voice matters. Your pain does not disqualify you from purpose, power, and connection. Take one step today: reach out, share with someone you trust, or simply say to yourself “I am not alone.”
P.S. If you are ready to step out of the shadows and into healing, consider checking out Jill’s book or join her community — there is strength in connection and courage in conversation.
