Have you ever felt completely stuck when it came time to apologize to your spouse? You know you need to say something, but the words feel heavy—almost impossible to get out. What if I told you that the real challenge might not just be about your spouse... but about how you feel about yourself?

In my latest podcast episode, Breaking Through the Forgiveness Block: How Self-Forgiveness Leads to Healing Apologies in Marriage, I dive into why many of us struggle to offer a heartfelt apology. Spoiler: it often starts with the shame we carry inside. If we haven’t forgiven ourselves for the mistakes we’ve made, it becomes nearly impossible to ask our spouse for forgiveness in a way that truly heals.

You’ll hear a powerful story about one of my clients who faced this exact issue after betraying his wife. He wanted to make things right, but no matter how hard he tried, his apologies felt shallow and disconnected. It wasn’t until he began the process of self-forgiveness that he could offer his wife the apology she deserved.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why traditional apologies often leave us feeling empty or defensive
  • How shame holds you back from offering a genuine apology
  • The powerful impact of self-forgiveness on your ability to reconnect with your spouse
  • A step-by-step process to transform how you approach apologies in your marriage

If you’ve ever found yourself struggling with guilt, shame, or apologies in your marriage, this episode is for you. It’s time to release the weight of your past mistakes and open the door to real healing—both for yourself and your relationship.
