Forgiveness Isn’t What You Think


Listen Later

This is one of those conversations that goes deeper than surface-level healing.

In this episode, I sit down again with Grace L. Lamour, MS, LMHC, a licensed mental health counselor serving the New York, Florida, Virginia, Maryland- to talk about forgiveness—what it really is, why it matters, and how it impacts our physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

Grace brings a grounded and compassionate perspective shaped by her work with individuals from all walks of life, including high-achieving women, first-generation Americans, and those navigating burnout and major life transitions. With a background in special education and leadership in therapeutic settings, she has spent years helping people ask the right questions that lead to deeper healing and self-awareness.

Together, we explore:

-What forgiveness actually means (and what it doesn’t)-Why holding on affects more than just your emotions-How forgiveness supports healing in the body and mind

This conversation is honest, thoughtful, and incredibly important—especially if there’s something you’ve been carrying that you’re not sure how to release.

If you haven’t already, you can also go back and listen to our first conversation from April 2024 for more of Grace’s work and perspective.
