Forgiveness sounds great on paper. But actually doing it in real life? Totally different story. In this episode, we get real about what forgiveness really is and what it definitely isn't. Spoiler: it's not about forgetting or saying what happened was okay.

We'll share some powerful stories, like a mother's struggle to forgive after a tragic accident and how certain programs are bringing victims and offenders together for some deep healing. Plus, we’ll spend some time looking at the obstacles we can face when forgiving ourselves. How many of us have said, "I'll never forgive myself"?

This isn’t about forcing anyone to forgive before they’re ready; it's about exploring how forgiveness can change your life for the better when the time is right. Along with some very personal experiences, we'll also dive into techniques that have been used by psychologists, setting boundaries, and practical steps to get further down the road to forgiveness.

Forgiveness is something we may not want to do alone. We may need the help of a trusted friend or family member, a therapist and most certainly God. Ready to take step one? Grab your favorite drink, get comfortable, and let’s imagine a more forgiving you—one step at a time.
