Forgiveness is a really tough topic, because though it is something that is good for us all to learn and to practice, it is nuanced and complicated and so, so hard.

There is usually a more generous interpretation of how someone is acting than what we see on the surface. This concept is from Dr. Becky of Good Inside, and I've shared it with you to help be able to apply to your relationships.

After a long break, the podcast is back!

Sometimes we can be in seasons where we are more seen, and others where we need to be unseen. And sometimes that unseen season lasts longer than we expect it to. But it's just what I needed.

For the final episode of the year, I love to go back and reflect.

I hope you can hear your story in some of mine.

I'll see you in the New Year.

How many of us have been conditioned to believe that our wants and desires don't matter or that they're inherently wrong? So we don't really ever get acquainted with or acknowledge our wants.

But we do have permission to want. And we have permission to name what we want.

Let's talk about things we must remember when talking with someone about something hard, like something they've done to hurt us, something we've done to hurt them, or something they've done that's caused emotional distress in some way.

There are ways to go about these kind of moments, so let's all do our best.

There is so much pain. So much trauma. So much sorrow. So much grief. Too much knowledge of good and evil.

The world is longing for the light. For life instead.
