Speak Up Anyway™ Workshops | Leadership & Inclusion Experiences with Richa Joshi

Unshaming the Self ™

There are things you believe about yourself…that you didn’t consciously choose.

Ideas about what is “too much”


What is “not enough”


What needs to be hidden, softened, or proven

And over time, those ideas start to feel like truth.

But not everything you carry is yours.

Some of it was learned.


Some of it was inherited.


Some of it kept you safe once — but no longer serves you now.

"You are not “too much” or “not enough.”
You’ve just been taught to see yourself that way."

Unshaming the Self is not about fixing you.

It’s about understanding what you’ve been carrying — and deciding what you’re ready to put down.

It is about reclaiming personal authority.

Before we can lead fully, we must examine the quiet shame, internalised judgement, and inherited expectations that shape how we see ourselves.

Unshaming the Self ™ is a powerful reflective experience that invites participants to question those narratives and reconnect with their own authority.

In the spirit of unity and respect, I acknowledge and pay my heartfelt respect to the traditional custodians of Whadjak country, the Noongar people.

I stand on this ancient land with deep appreciation for their enduring connection to country, culture, and community.

As we gather and work together, may we honor the wisdom of the Noongar elders, past, and present and strive to nurture a harmonious relationship with the land, its stories, and its people.
