You’ll learn the difference between emotional and decisional forgiveness, how to spot “toxic forgiveness,” and a simple 4-step practice to let go of old wounds without denying your truth. Whether you're navigating midlife, planning your Next Act, or just ready to age on your own terms—this episode is a must-listen.
