#14 Self Love and Forgiveness


Listen Later

In this powerful episode of "Self-Love is a Practice," Nadine McNeil (Universal Empress) tackles one of the most confronting aspects of personal development: self-forgiveness. Learn why forgiveness is never about the other person, discover the most transformative definition of self-forgiveness you'll ever hear, and get practical tools to release resentment and reclaim your freedom.


What You'll Learn:

  •  The radical definition: Self-forgiveness is relinquishing the hope that things were different.
  •  Why forgiveness is ALWAYS about you, never about the other person.
  • How unforgiveness keeps you trapped (the "poison you swallow" metaphor)
  •  The truth about hurt people hurting people—and breaking the cycle.
  • Why your feelings are true even when they're not facts.
  •  The Ho'oponopono Hawaiian prayer for forgiveness practice.
  • Practical steps to begin forgiving yourself and others.
  • Why someone else is probably ruminating about something YOU did to them.
  • How the body remembers trauma from childhood. (even when your mind forgets)


When you stop wishing the past was different, you create space for acceptance. Acceptance doesn't mean you're a pushover or will allow yourself to be hurt again—it means you're finally free to move forward. 


The Uncomfortable Truth:
No one intentionally sets out to hurt others (unless they're psychopathic). We're all human, carrying unconscious wounds, unintentionally hurting people while being hurt ourselves. The cycle only breaks when you do your own healing work.


 This episode is a gentle yet powerful invitation to stop carrying the weight of unforgiveness and finally set yourself free.
