should you confront that one person who’s been bothering you or ignore it in the name of protecting your peace? we talk with a forgiveness expert to find out what it truly means to protect our peace and if maybe the modern obsession over cutting people off is only making us feel more lonely. through reflections on our own qualms with those close to us, we navigate the delicate balance between saving a connection or choosing to let go and how to make the decision.
