In this beautiful episode of Shame-less Stories, Sarah sits down with author and Nine Star Ki consultant Lindsey Elms, whose new book Guided by Love was recently published through The Unbound Press.
Lindsey opens up about the end of her 20-year marriage, the deep shame that followed, and the transformative journey that helped her release it. She shares how writing her book became a self-love project, guiding her through heartbreak with compassion and grace. Six months ago, she received an autism diagnosis; an experience that brought a fresh wave of shame but ultimately deepened her self-understanding and acceptance.
You’ll also hear about:
How shame can be dismantled through honesty, safe spaces, and self-awareness.
The societal expectations that can erode self-worth, and the liberation of letting them go!
Life after an autism diagnosis, including sensory sensitivities, energy management, and embracing neurodivergent strengths.
The gentle wisdom of Nine Star Ki and how it can support self-discovery, decision-making, and healing cycles.
The tools, rituals, and mindset shifts that helped Lindsey navigate loss and rebuild her life with hope and joy.
Guided by Love isn’t just Lindsey’s story, it’s a compassionate guide for anyone moving through heartbreak, life transitions, or the messy beauty of rediscovering themselves.
