What if your definition of forgiveness is the very thing keeping you stuck? In this episode, we talk about what forgiveness really means. I share how I used to think forgiving someone meant minimizing what they did, pretending it didn't hurt, or inviting them back in. We dive deep into emotional justice, the hidden resentment that lingers after a grudge, and how true forgiveness doesn't require reconciliation. Plus, I break down the 3 Rs every healed relationship needs and how letting go is about freeing YOURSELF, not them.

Highlights

• Why your forgiveness might not actually be forgiveness.

• The "justice trap" that makes us want others to feel our pain.

• How old resentment resurfaces in new conflicts.

• The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation.

• The 3 Rs framework for rebuilding trust after betrayal.

• Why letting go doesn't mean letting them off the hook.
