kicks off JANUARY 2027
A 6-Month deep dive into how shame shows up in your relationships and how to start SEEING it…
and then not be able to unsee it
You've already done some of the work.
You've read the books, sat in therapy, maybe even done your own healing for years.
And still you are not where you want to be in your relationship. It shows up in the silence after conflict. In the way you brace before you even open your mouth. In the parts of yourself you still hide from the person you love most. For some reason, it feels like a performance at times or you feel like the parent…shame shows up in the WILDEST ways!
This isn't a course for people just starting out. This is for people ready to go deeper.
Unmasking Shame: The Course is a 6-month guided journey into the five weapons of shame and how they quietly ruin your relationships, your sense of self, and your capacity for real intimacy — led personally by Austin Hatch and Heather Heide.
Let's name something up front: this is not a how-to.
THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS WORK
We're not handing you five steps to fix your marriage or a script to say to your partner. Anyone promising that hasn't done this work themselves.
This is a how-to-see model.
Because the truth is, you can't fix a pattern you can't see. We are highlighting the covert ways that shame shows up in your daily life - - trust us, we still see it in our lives! So Unmasking Shame is about learning to see those dynamics clearly, in real time, so you get to choose your response instead of using shame as a weapon to keep yourself from being seen.
Fair warning: this work is going to stir things up. That's not a bug — it's the point. We believe healing happens when people are willing to sit in the muck, not rush past it. If you're looking for something comfortable, this isn't it. If you're ready to sit in the mud long enough to actually understand yourself, you're in the right place.
WHAT'S INSIDE
12 modules. 6 months. Delivered every two weeks.
An opening intro module to orient you to the framework
10 core modules unpacking the five weapons of shame and how they show up in relationship dynamics
1 bonus module on integrity (a look at where this work leads next)
Every two weeks, you'll get:
A new module drop — video teaching plus guided worksheets
A live group call with Austin and Heather — direct access, real dynamics, real time
When you join Unmasking Shame: The Course, you're not just buying access to content. You're making a decision to yourself, and to the people in your life - - that you're ready to stop managing shame from a distance and start actually looking at it.
We take that seriously, and we ask you to as well. This is a commitment to yourself, once you're in, and we are genuinely glad to have you.
This is the part people don't expect: you're not learning this alone in front of a screen.
Every two weeks, you're in the room with us.

The curriculum is the same. The community around you is not.
All three tracks move through the same 12-module curriculum. Your track determines which live call is yours every two weeks.
This isn't about arriving at a place where everything is solved. That promise is part of the myth we're actively dismantling.
What you can expect: you'll start to see the moment shame shows up — in a conversation, in a reaction, in the story you tell yourself about what just happened. And in that half-second of seeing, you get a choice you didn't have before. A different response. A different way of showing up for yourself and the people you love.
That's what "doing life different" actually looks like. Not a finish line, rather a new way of seeing that changes everything downstream of it.

That's exactly what the workshops are for. If six months feels like too big a jump, start with one of our live workshops — a single evening where you'll get a real taste of this work: how shame shows up, how to start seeing it, and what changes once you do. No pressure to enroll in the course afterward. Many people do one workshop first, then decide the course is the next right step — but the workshop stands on its own, too.
