Radical Forgiveness (part 1) - Awakening Process 101

What this episode covers

In this episode of The Awakening Process 101 Podcast, Louise Juel and I open up the conversation around radical forgiveness—what it really means in our daily lives, why it matters, and how it can shift the way we relate to ourselves and others. Together we share stories from our own lives—marriage, family, recovery, and spiritual practice—and explore forgiveness not as a one-time event but as an ongoing process of softening, releasing, and allowing. We look honestly at the patterns of pride, fear, and codependency that keep us stuck, and how forgiveness becomes a way of life rather than something we check off a list. This episode also includes a short meditation, offering space to pause, breathe, and experience what it feels like to let go and return to freedom.(0:00) Introduction to radical forgiveness(2:15) What forgiveness really means in daily life(6:40) Stories of forgiveness in relationships and family(12:05) Pride, fear, and the roots of resentment(17:20) Codependency and the challenge of letting go(23:00) Forgiveness as a spiritual practice(28:15) How AA and the 12 steps shaped our view of forgiveness(33:40) Moving from blame to compassion(39:10) Forgiveness as a way of life(44:00) Guided meditation on softening and release(51:20) Closing reflections and takeaways

Health is something that has always been important to me, but healing myself in a holistic way has allowed me to become a version of myself I am truly proud of. I had no idea there was an option for living life outside of survival mode. As someone who has been in some state of fight, flight or freeze since I was a small child the idea of any other life seemed out of reach and down right unrealistic. I honestly thought how I was living and feeling was totally normal. Once I started to heal all parts of myself down to the cells I am made up of I realized life is so much more than people pleasing, anxiety attacks and living life in a haze.
