Episode 1: Exploring Forgiveness

In this episode, I’m sharing one of the hardest chapters of my life, my relationship with my father. It’s a story of love, pain, and the moment I had to make an impossible decision, to walk away. For so long, I held onto the hope that things could change, but deep down, I knew I had to set a boundary that would finally protect me. Letting go wasn’t easy, and forgiveness didn’t come overnight. But in time, I learned that forgiveness isn’t about excusing someone’s actions, it’s about freeing yourself from the weight of what could have been.This story is also at the heart of my song Dear Daddy, recorded in Johnny Cash’s legendary studio, a letter to a man I loved, but could no longer hold onto.If you’ve ever felt trapped in a cycle of hurt, if you’ve ever questioned whether it’s okay to put yourself first, I hope this episode gives you something to hold onto. Healing is messy, growth is uncomfortable, and forgiveness takes time. But we’re in this together, walking bravely into the unknown, one step at a time.Background Music by - KidwithamatchRecorded at The Cabin Producer Tim Clarke
