I struggled with forgiveness so much. In fact, it was the hardest part of my recovery process after my divorce.

And I know you are going through the same things, too. So today, I’ll be breaking down these struggles we experience as we get ourselves on the path to forgiveness.

I’ll also be sharing why it’s so important for you to forgive yourself so you can finally move forward into the new life you deserve.

Tune in to this episode: Why Forgiving Yourself is Crucial For Moving On

Key points covered in this episode: 

✔️ Carrying guilt hinders us from forgiving ourselves. You may feel you’re half-responsible. But guilt just gets in the way of you seeing your true worth.

✔️ Self-blame only fosters more shame. My kids heard me kick their dad out. It was difficult to process that it wasn’t my fault. Trust me, you’ll get to the other side.

✔️ Break the cycle of negative self-talk. No wonder our self-esteem is in the toilet. You’re powerful enough to silence this pesky voice in your head.

✔️ Who cares what others think? You know yourself best. Being able to move on emotionally doesn’t make you the villain. Say no to self-judgment.

✔️ Release the pain. Resentment is drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Don’t allow yourself to rot. Choose to step into that world of forgiveness.

✔️ Move into your new life by practicing these:

  • Self-love.

  • Gratitude

  • Self-compassion

✔️ You deserve to forgive yourself. Nobody’s perfect. We all make mistakes. What matters is what you choose to do moving forward.
