Re-release: Episode 11 – Forgiving Yourself

Why is it often so much harder to forgive ourselves than it is to forgive someone else?In this episode, we explore the challenging but deeply healing practice of self-forgiveness. Together, we'll look at the difference between guilt and shame, why understanding our past isn't the same as excusing it, and how self-compassion and accountability can coexist.I'll also walk you through a powerful seven-step journaling exercise inspired by Eve Ensler's The Apology—a reflective process that can help you work through guilt, make peace with your past, and begin offering yourself the grace you've been withholding.If you've been carrying regret, self-blame, or the belief that one mistake defines who you are, I hope this conversation reminds you of a simple truth: healing doesn't begin when you become perfect. It begins when you're finally willing to meet yourself with honesty, compassion, and forgiveness.Questions or Comments?
