The Daily AscentAuthor: Operation Podcast
Welcome to The Daily Ascent. I'm Molly Carmel and this is the podcast I always wished existed: a bite-sized, on-the-ground spiritual note that can shift your thinking and your outlook on life. Because sometimes, that's all it takes a small shift in what we choose to believe to make the day a little better, and to make us a little more awake, alive and ascending. Each weekday, we climb together rising above the noise, finding the flow, and getting grounded in what really matters so you can live your day with more meaning, connection, and ease.

Ep. 130 | How to Do a Shame Fast - And Why Your Thoughts Might Need One
Episode 130
Friday, 1 May, 2026
In today's episode, I'm sharing something a friend of mine came up with that I found so spiritually alive I couldn't stop thinking about it — a shame fast. She was at a church lecture about why spiritual traditions throughout history have honored fasting, and had this lightning bolt moment: I need to do this with my shame thoughts. Mark Nepo writes in The Book of Awakening that loving yourself is like feeding a clear bird that no one else can see — every time you are cruel to yourself you scare it away, and every time you are patient and kind, it returns. Today's episode is about what you choose to feed. Question to carry into your day: What would it feel like to fast from one shame thought today — to notice it, name it, and choose not to follow it?
