In this raw and revelatory episode, we dismantle the myth that forgiveness is about the other person. Spoiler alert: it’s not. This conversation dives into what forgiveness actually is (and isn’t), why we often resist it, and how to reclaim it as a radical act of self-healing. Whether you're holding onto hurt, waiting for an apology, or wondering how to forgive without letting toxic people back in—this one’s for you.

- What You’ll Learn:

• Why forgiveness doesn’t necessarily mean reconciliation
• The psychological and physical toll of unresolved resentment
• What it really means to "let go" when you still feel broken
• How to set boundaries and offer compassion—without betraying yourself
• Practical prompts to begin your own forgiveness work

- Key Stats + Research:

• Studies show that forgiveness lowers stress levels, reduces blood pressure, and can even boost your immune system (Worthington et al., 2007).
• Holding onto resentment activates the brain’s stress response—keeping you in a state of chronic emotional arousal.
• People who forgive report higher self-esteem, better relationships, and improved mental health.

 Thank you for listening. Healing isn’t easy—but you don’t have to do it alone.
