Over It And On With It

EP 493: How To Forgive Yourself for a Mistake with Sara


Listen Later

In this deeply personal and transformative episode, Christine Hassler coaches Sara through the difficult journey of self-forgiveness. Many of us have experienced the weight of regret—dwelling on decisions we wish we had made differently and struggling to let go of the past. This episode offers a path toward healing, self-acceptance, and true forgiveness.

Christine helps Sara navigate the emotions of guilt, self-judgment, and the pressure to "fix" herself, while also uncovering the deeper wounds that have shaped her self-worth. Together, they explore the impact of childhood conditioning, the importance of self-compassion, and how to break free from patterns of self-criticism.

This coaching session is a powerful reminder that we are not defined by our mistakes and that true self-love means embracing all parts of ourselves—even the ones we struggle to accept.

 

Consider/Ask Yourself:

  • Are you holding onto self-judgment for something you’ve done?
  • Do you find it easier to forgive others than to forgive yourself?
  • Have you ever attached your self-worth to external validation, such as your appearance or achievements?
  • Are you ready to let go of shame, guilt, and regret, and embrace self-compassion instead?

 

Key Insights and A-HAs:

  • Many of the “mistakes” we regret are actually opportunities for growth.
  • Forgiveness is not about condoning what happened, but about freeing yourself from self-punishment.
  • Our childhood experiences shape our self-image—but we have the power to rewrite our story.
  • True healing begins with self-compassion, not self-criticism.
  • We can learn to see ourselves beyond the surface and appreciate our true, authentic essence.

 

How to Get Over It & On With It:

  • Reframe your perception—instead of seeing your actions as "mistakes," view them as learning experiences.
  • Practice self-mothering—speak to yourself with the same love and gentleness you would offer a child.
  • Challenge self-judgment—when you hear your inner critic, ask, “Would I say this to a friend?”
  • Shift your focus from past regret to future growth—each day is a chance to choose self-compassion.
