As the year comes to a close and Christmas approaches, Pam Rader and Erin Payne invite you into an honest, compassionate conversation about forgiveness—not as a moral obligation, but as a pathway to freedom, peace, and reclaimed energy.

This episode is for anyone who has had a hard year—marked by endings, grief, disappointment, or emotional exhaustion—and is ready to stop carrying the weight of resentment into the new year.

Together, Pam and Erin explore:

• What forgiveness is (and what it definitely is not)

• Why resentment feels justified—but quietly drains our life force

• How forgiveness can coexist with anger, grief, and strong boundaries

• Why self-forgiveness is the foundation of forgiving others

• And how peace becomes non-negotiable once you’ve truly tasted it

Drawing on teachings from Baron Baptiste, Byron Katie, and Deepak Chopra, this episode offers both deep reflection and practical tools you can use immediately—especially during emotionally charged family gatherings and year-end transitions.
