What if the resentment you’re carrying isn’t protecting you… but imprisoning you?

In this episode, human connection keynote speaker Sha Nacino and one of the World’s Top 30 Motivational Speakers, sits down with Atty. Jo Ferrer (labor law lawyer + Head of HR of China Savings Bank) for a deep, practical conversation on forgiveness in the workplace and in relationships—from conflict, credit-grabbing, public humiliation, and apology… to self-forgiveness, boundaries, and when “walking away” is actually wisdom.

From conflict, credit-grabbing, and public humiliation to apology, self-forgiveness, boundaries, and knowing when walking away is actually wisdom—this episode unpacks what forgiveness really looks like in professional and personal relationships.

If you’re a leader, manager, HR professional, or high-performing executive navigating tension, hurt, and strained relationships—this is your reset.

• Forgiveness requires a reckoning point: facts, feelings, and forward action.
• Public harm often needs public repair (especially in leadership contexts).
• Walking away isn’t losing—sometimes it’s intelligence with boundaries.
• In marriage and life, forgiveness is often tiny, daily, and intentional.
• The ultimate question: Do you want to stay wounded… or stay wiser?
