Recently I got the privilege of going to see Nadia Bolz-Weber give an author talk about her book Shameless: A Sexual Reformation. The book talk was quite interesting and included a place for audience members to talk about shame and included a dance party. I think everyone left with something, including myself.
The day before this book talk, I’d been watching Big Mouth, the TV series created by Nick Kroll, et al., and it’d been the episode where the Shame Wizard was introduced. The Shame wizard, if you can’t guess, tries his best to shame the middle-school aged characters. Anyway. These two things occurring in my life as they did, got me thinking a lot about shame.
