What if the very emotions you’ve spent your life trying to escape… are actually trying to help you?
In this powerful and surprisingly freeing conversation, Alicia sits down with confidence coach Ada Undis—a woman who boldly says something most people have never heard before:
“I love guilt and shame.”

For adult glass children, guilt and shame are not abstract concepts. They are lived realities—shaping decisions, relationships, identity, and self-worth.
But what if they are not signs that something is wrong with you?
What if they are signals… invitations… even protectors?
This episode offers a completely different framework—one that does not shame your shame or fight your guilt, but instead teaches you how to understand, work with, and ultimately transform them.
If you have ever felt:
- Responsible for everyone else
- Guilty for having needs
- Ashamed for wanting a different life
- Afraid to set boundaries
This conversation will meet you right where you are—and softly challenge everything you thought you knew about healing.
Welcome to the I See Glass Children podcast.
