Forgiveness is not about excusing poor behavior of others or condoning what has happened, instead it is a profound gift to yourself, allowing you to release the grip of hurt and anger that may have taken root in your heart. By forgiving, you create space for peace, connection, and joy, even in challenging circumstances.

In this episode, Coach Lori shares practical tools to help listeners embrace forgiveness. One tool is starting small, beginning with minor annoyances or misunderstandings and practicing letting them go. 

This gradual approach can ease the process of tackling more significant hurts over time. Discover how letting go of past grievances can lead to more peaceful and meaningful connections with family and friends.
