Tinamarie Clark Talks Dissecting Shame Responses and Her Shift Stirrer Method

On this episode of Courageous Wellness, we sit down with Tinamarie Clark. Tinamarie is the author and creator of the Shift Stirrer Method ™ a five-step mindfulness method to get our sh*t together and shift our perception. Tina’s path as a  Shift Stirrer™ traces back to her  roots.
Raised in Section 8 housing by a single mother she felt branded by her circumstances and struggled with a persistent sense of shame and an all-consuming feeling of “other.” These thoughts and feeling were overwhelming, and at times debilitating. To the outside world, she presented an entirely different person: fierce, defensive, and combative. This was her family’s code of honor and  most deeply-held belief: that if they were feared, no one could hurt them. 
On this episode we have a deep discussion about Tinamarie's personal journey and how to apply the Shift Stirrer Method to create radical transformation in our own lives. Tinamarie also curates conversations for others to share their own stir stories™, leading them to deeper connections with self and the world around them.  We are grateful to Tinamarie for sharing her beautiful and empowering story and hope it inspires you as we enter the New Year!
