Forgiveness sounds easy until you’re the one who’s been hurt.

In this episode, I’m getting real about what it actually means to forgive when the pain is still fresh, when the apology never came, and when letting go feels like letting someone off the hook. I talk about my own journey—how writing an unsent letter became the turning point in releasing years of resentment—and what I’ve learned about forgiveness that no one ever really teaches us. Because the truth is, forgiveness isn’t about pretending it didn’t hurt or acting like it’s okay. It’s about choosing peace, even when the ache is still there. It’s learning how to grieve what you lost, set boundaries that protect your peace, and extend grace to yourself for the times you didn’t know better.
