Everyone has one. What's yours?

We sometimes fake knowledge in order to belong, or we feel insecure verbalizing our lack of knowledge. Inside, however, it can tear away at our personal integrity. 

Making a mistake can trigger feelings of shame and regret. Instead of owning it and learning from it, we can have a tendency to hide our mistakes.

Whether it is a name, an important milestone, an assignment or something else, forgetfulness can feel embarrassing - an Orange Nose moment

We've all been there. Made a joke that doesn't land. Clapped in a silent room. Been the person who drank too much and made inappropriate remarks. It's called being human, and it happens.  

Whether intentional or not, being excluded can hurt and trigger feelings of shame, vulnerability and insecurity. It can threaten our deep-seated need to belong. 

Diarrhea. Loss of bladder control. Periods. Vomiting. Normal bodily functions can turn into Orange Nose moments when they happen in public.  And yet it happens to all of us. Let's take the shame out of it!
