209. The Year I Called Shame By Its Name

In this solo episode, Britten continues her "Chapters of My Career" series, sharing the pivotal year when shame became central to her work and the word "unshaming" emerged as the name for what she'd been doing all along. This installment explores the period from Spring 2022 through early 2023, a time of deep personal transformation, relationship repair, and the crystallization of her signature teaching approach. She explains that one of shame's most powerful spells is that we don't recognize it as such - we think it's just who we are, rather than something that came from outside and isn't native to our being.

Topics She Explores:

• The seven-year Saturn cycle in her business and how her 3-5 Human Design profile shapes her experiential learning and teaching voice

• A transformative mushroom journey that revealed codependency patterns, the teaching that everyone is on their own trip, and that she's resisting being special because she doesn't want people to be sad

• Learning to navigate shame spirals in her relationship and discovering how shame was showing up in her parenting

• Taking The Shame Clinic with Simone Seol and David Bedrick in Fall 2022, where she first encountered the word "unshaming"

• The disappointment when Astrology as Praxis enrollment was lower than expected, and how that contraction taught her to return to why she truly wants to create

• Leading her first Unshaming the Signs workshop in February 2023 with her astrology students, and the birth of what would become Unshaming Your Chart

Britten closes by inviting listeners to join Unshaming Your Chart, which returns December 17th as a two-month offering inside Living Emergence. The class includes a face-melting initiation, a bank of pre-recorded teachings on Unshaming the Signs, Houses, and Planets, and meetups in January and February. She emphasizes that while the topic is shame, the experience is playful and fun - because laughter alchemizes and helps us stay real, vulnerable, and spacious as humans learning to be here.
