Welcome to The Expressive Mom Show, hosted by Miriam Rachel. Miriam is a multi-talented Canadian mother, author, freelance writer, astrologer, psychic medium, and tarot reader.

With a diverse background in various roles, Miriam's passion for writing and connecting with others has remained at the core of her identity.

In her latest solo podcast episode, Miriam delves into a controversial topic related to toxic positivity and the harmful expectation for bullying and abuse survivors to forgive their perpetrators.

She challenges the notion that forgiveness is the ultimate path to healing, highlighting the complexities of the survivor's journey. While some may argue for seeking vengeance or forgiveness, Miriam emphasizes the importance of finding a middle ground: indifference.

Miriam suggests that survivors can find peace and empowerment after experiencing trauma by exploring the concept of indifference. She acknowledges that forgiveness burdens the survivor unfairly while the bullies and abusers escape accountability.

Instead, embracing indifference allows survivors to redirect their energy towards self-care, personal growth, and surrounding themselves with supportive individuals.

Throughout the episode, Miriam discusses the fallacy of showing compassion towards bullies and abusers, the pressure of toxic positivity, and the significance of validating survivors' emotions.

By rejecting the expectation to forgive, survivors can prioritize their own well-being and reclaim their power. Miriam concludes the episode by announcing upcoming guests and teasing an enlightening conversation with the founder of a holistic digital magazine.

Join her next week as she continues to explore topics that resonate with parents and those seeking a fresh perspective. Until then, thank you for tuning in to The Expressive Mom Show.
