Some of the deepest hurts don’t come from enemies — they come from our own family.

In this heartfelt episode of The Forgiveness Shift, we explore the complex terrain of parent wounds, sibling betrayal, and generational cycles of dysfunction. If you've ever struggled with pain that feels too close to home, this episode offers a sacred space to begin — or continue — your healing.

We’ll talk about:

• How to set healthy boundaries without guilt
• When to forgive vs. when to release
• What the Bible says about restoring peace to painful places
• Why forgiveness is for your freedom, not their comfort

Grounded in Colossians 3:13, this episode gently guides you through a faith-based approach to navigating family pain — with wisdom, grace, and truth.

Welcome back to The Forgiveness Shift — the podcast where reclaiming your peace and joy starts with the power of forgiveness. I’m Dr. Norma, and in today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the most challenging questions on the path to emotional freedom: How do you forgive someone who isn’t sorry?

An apology often feels like the missing piece for closure, but real forgiveness isn’t about the other person — it’s about releasing yourself. When the apology never comes, the hurt can linger, trapping you in cycles of pain and resentment.

In this episode, we explore why forgiveness without acknowledgment feels so unfair and how shifting your mindset can free you from emotional captivity. I’ll share the story of Michelle, a client who carried decades of resentment toward her mother, and how choosing forgiveness — without waiting for an apology — finally set her heart free.

If you’ve ever struggled with forgiving the unrepentant, this conversation is for you. Let’s begin the shift together.
