A Lifetime of Shame with Erin Gorrie
In this episode of the FoundHer Series, Carrie sits down with Erin Gorrie, a contributing author to The Lighthouse Project – Beautiful Chaos, Volume 2. Erin’s chapter, A Lifetime of Shame, is a raw and powerful exploration of how shame took hold of her life, shaped her choices, and kept her trapped in a story of shame for decades.
For 30 years, Erin carried the weight of her early experiences, constantly seeking external validation. But when everything came crashing down, she had a pivotal realization—90% of her experiences were within her control. This moment of clarity set her free. She began to set boundaries, release people-pleasing tendencies, and reclaim her self-worth.
Erin shares the liberating process of writing her story, the deep connection she found within The Lighthouse Project community, and how telling her truth became the final piece of her own freedom. She reminds us that when we stop living in the shadows of shame and start embracing our whole selves—rough edges and all—we step into our true power.
This episode is for every woman who has ever felt not enough, who has struggled with persistent or chronic shame, or who is ready to finally say, enough is enough. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about courage, healing, and reclaiming your story. 💕
