2026/10/06

Friends, What if some of the things you've taken personally were never actually about you? In this episode of Forgiveness is for YOU, I explore an idea from forgiveness expert Dr. Fred Luskin: we often take other people's behavior personally and turn it into a story about ourselves. Someone rejects us, betrays us, criticizes us, or treats us badly, and we begin to believe their behavior says something about our worth, our lovability, or who we are. That's where we can move from “terrible world and

Friend, Have you ever watched someone you love go through a painful betrayal or heartbreak and felt totally helpless? We want so badly to help our friends and family heal, but well-meaning advice like "you just need to let it go" or "holding onto bitterness only hurts you" can actually do more harm than good.

Friends, Healing trauma often happens in layers. Just when we think we've worked through the pain, another memory, emotion, or grief surfaces, inviting us into deeper healing. In this Summer Rewind episode, I share the story of the man who became my primary father figure during childhood, my Uncle Isaac.

Friends, Healing is not all gloom and doom. When we've been deeply hurt, betrayed, or disappointed, it can feel as though suffering has taken over every corner of our lives.

As part of this Summer Rewind series, I'm revisiting one of my favorite short episodes. In this conversation, I explore how we can become more receptive to joy in the midst of suffering and how

Friends, In this Summer Rewind episode, I'm bringing back my conversation with Fr. Thomas Berg, originally released as Choosing Forgiveness. Together, we explore one of the most challenging aspects of the Christian life: what happens when guilt lingers long after we've sought forgiveness.

Friends, In this episode, I explore the mother wound: how early relational experiences shape identity, distort boundaries, and quietly influence how we relate to ourselves, others, and even God. I focus my discussion primarily on the mother-daughter relationship. Many daughters grow up learning to perform for love, manage emotional climates, and abandon their own needs in order to maintain connection. Over time, these adaptations can harden into identity. This episode is especially for those who

June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a devotion that invites us to contemplate Christ's boundless love for humanity.

2026/06/02

Friends, What if the anxiety you feel around forgiveness isn’t resistance… but protection? In this episode I explore the very real fear, confusion, and nervous system responses that can surface when we begin considering forgiveness after trauma, betrayal, abuse, or deep emotional pain. Forgiveness is often presented as simple or immediate, but for many people, the thought of forgiving can activate shame, panic, dissociation, hypervigilance, or emotional overwhelm. Why? Because our bodies remember
