Every story deserves to be told without shame.
Yet every day, people bury parts of themselves through fear of judgement, embarrassment, or not being believed. Stories Without Shame exists to change that. We're creating spaces where individuals can stop struggling in silence, express what they've been carrying, and discover the freedom that comes from being witnessed without judgement.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create the world's largest movement helping people release shame through storytelling.
Every shared story has the power to remind someone else they're not alone.
Together, we're creating a future where people no longer feel they have to hide the truth of what they've lived through.
By creating safe spaces for people to reflect, express and connect, we're helping replace silence with conversation, judgement with compassion, and isolation with belonging.
Our Values
We witness, we don't judge.
Every story has value.
You decide what you share.
Courage looks different for everyone.
Nobody should struggle alone.
Connection changes lives.
Connie never planned to start a movement. After experiencing sexual violence, she returned to work the next day and buried what had happened for three years.
To everyone else she appeared successful, capable and positive, but privately, she was struggling in silence. Everything changed when she witnessed someone else share their story with courage.
It gave her permission to share her own. That moment taught her a lesson that would shape her life's work:
Healing begins when hiding ends.
Today, Connie combines her experience as a doctor with her own lived experience to help others realise they don't have to carry shame alone.

Testimonial
“Working with Dr Connie was incredibly insightful, valuable and empowering. She helped me recognise, vocalise and tackle some deep held beliefs about my credibility, confidence and ability to be my authentic self at work. I’m so, so grateful for the lasting impact the time has had on me.”
