Shame is Lying to You

In this minisode of The Scarlet Edit, I share a raw memory from my early 20s — a moment when I questioned whether I was even “enough” for someone to want to spend time with me. That thought stuck with me for years, and it wasn’t until this conversation with Dr. Zoe that I realized it was shame — what she calls the phantom critic — whispering in my ear.

Dr. Zoe explains how these invisible messages from childhood can shape the way we see ourselves in relationships, often without us realizing it. We break down:

How the phantom critic fuels shame and disconnection
-Why subconscious childhood messages follow us into adult relationships
-The different types of shame (body shame, identity shame, religious shame, imposter syndrome, and more)
-The first steps to recognizing and overcoming complex shame

If you’ve ever felt like you weren’t good enough, or caught yourself doubting your worth in a relationship, this minisode will resonate deeply.

❤️‍🔥 About The Scarlet Edit
The Scarlet Edit is where we get real about divorce, affairs, situationships, infidelity, and everything else that’s often swept under the rug in today’s dating world. No shame, no judgment - just the truth.

I’m Nikki Corbett. I’ve been divorced, had an affair, and lived through a heartbreaking situationship - experiences that prove there’s more to modern relationships than what we’re taught. On this podcast, we dive deep into the raw realities of love, emotional intimacy, power dynamics, painful endings, and fresh starts.

If you’re tired of cookie-cutter love stories and want something that speaks to the real truth of what we’re living through, this is your place. If you’ve ever felt like your relationship journey doesn’t fit the traditional mold, you're not alone. You deserve to be seen, heard, and loved. No exceptions.

This podcast is for anyone who’s ever questioned their worth, fought to rewrite their own story, or felt the sting of a love that didn’t fit the fairytale. You are not defined by your past choices. You are allowed to want more, and you deserve a life that's full of the real, genuine love you crave. So grab a drink, settle in and enjoy. The Scarlet Edit was created by me, for you.
