Warren’s story of overcoming deep-rooted shame, loneliness and isolation highlights our universal human needs for acceptance and connection. His personal journey demonstrates the profound impact of his conservative religious upbringing and shows how he, in recognizing the damaging effects of shame, fundamentalism and inauthenticity, found the people, the path, and the grace, to release his ‘not enough’ driver, embrace authenticity, compassion, forgiveness, and true connection.

Through Warren’s gentle wisdom, learn how he:

• Released the heavy indebtedness of shame
• Came to deeply understand his own needs and motivations
• Cultivates compassion and forgiveness for himself
• Replaced church-taught judgment with honest acceptance and grace
• Interrupts cycles of trauma and disconnection
• Appreciates the importance of collective support and shared vulnerability in healing
• Makes a genuine difference in the world from a place of wholeness

Whether you’re struggling with past mistakes or seeking to deepen your capacity for compassion, allow Warren’s story to inspire and guide you. As you reflect on his experiences, consider your own life and communities. Do they foster environments where people can be authentic? Are you ready to embrace your own vulnerabilities and those of others, to create spaces of genuine acceptance and under- standing, where shame has no power and connection thrives?

Warren’s words remind us we’re not alone in our struggles, and that true connection often begins when we have the courage to openly share our pain and imperfections. After hearing this conversation, you will have no doubt that our shared humanity, with all its flaws and beauty, is what truly connects us all.
