Episode 239. Forgiveness Without Excusing the Hurt

Apr 06, 2026

 

 

 

 

 

Forgiveness gets talked about a lot.

But for many women, it feels like pressure. Like you’re supposed to “move on” from something that still hurts… or make peace with something that never felt okay in the first place.

In this episode, we’re clearing that up.

You’ll learn what forgiveness actually is… what it is not… and how to begin releasing the weight of resentment without minimizing your pain or removing wise boundaries.

Because healing doesn’t come from pretending it didn’t hurt.

It comes from finally giving your heart permission to stop carrying it alone.

There’s also a free worksheet linked for you to process this at your own pace.

If this topic has ever felt confusing, heavy, or impossible… come take a listen!
