When was the last time you thought about your "unforgivable person"? That one person you swore you'd never forgive? What if holding onto that anger is actually hurting you more than them?

 

Many of us in midlife are carrying years of resentment, anger, and unresolved pain. We've been told to "forgive and forget," but we can't – and maybe we don't want to. Yet that emotional baggage might be affecting our health, happiness, and future opportunities more than we realize.

 

In this episode of Mind Your Midlife, award-winning author Katharine Giovanni shares her revolutionary approach to forgiveness that's all about you, not them.

 

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

 

• Why forgiveness is actually selfish (in the best way possible)
• The fascinating science behind how anger affects your body at a cellular level
• A unique method to forgive without ever having to contact the person
• Why starting with your "easy" forgiveness situations creates momentum for healing

 

🎯 OMG Moment: Your body is 98% water – and negative emotions literally change your cellular structure. Forgiveness isn't just emotional healing; it's physical healing too.
