S2E49: Forgiveness Myths Debunked: A Holiday Reset (S1E5 Revisit)

Friends, In this episode of the Holiday Reflection Series, I'm revisiting one of the most-loved episodes from Season 1: What Forgiveness Is Not. The holiday season can stir up old wounds, from family dynamics, absence, grief, to unresolved tension. Many of us feel pressure to “just forgive,” even when our hearts aren’t ready. This episode offers gentle clarity: a grounded look at what forgiveness does not require, so you can release confusion, relieve pressure, and move toward peace at a pace that honors your healing. You’ll also hear two heartfelt listener reviews that remind us how powerful this healing journey can be. If you’d like me to read your review in a future episode, follow the instructions in the show notes and leave one on Apple Podcasts. Your words help this podcast reach more people who need compassion, understanding, and hope. If you have a story of overcoming adversity, faith and forgiveness, I'd love to connect. I'm lining up guests for 2026, and your story might just be what someone on the other side of the world needs to hear. Just email me at [email protected] to see if we're a good fit.
