What happens when the apology never comes?
In this powerful conversation, Jo Taylor sits down with her niece, Shireen Brown, a licensed therapist who helps individuals heal through faith, emotional recovery, and truth. Together, they unpack what it means to forgive without closure and why waiting for an apology often keeps us stuck in pain.
Shireen shares her clinical and spiritual insights on:
Why we crave apologies and what that need reveals about us
How to release resentment without minimizing your pain
The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation
Setting and enforcing boundaries that protect your peace
How gratitude can become a tool for healing and emotional freedom
Jo and Shireen also explore how faith and therapy work hand in hand to help us reclaim our narrative after betrayal, loss, or silence.
Gratitude Moment:
“I’m thankful for peace that came without permission. The kind that didn’t wait for an apology, approval, or understanding. It came when I decided I deserved to be free.” - Jo Taylor
