A Really Good Cry

Why is it so hard to forgive and let go?  I’ve been there–caught up in replaying moments where other people hurt me, and waiting for apologies that never come. And honestly? It’s exhausting. In this episode, I’m sharing my own struggles with forgiveness and the surprising things I’ve learned about how much holding onto pain can weigh us down. We’ll talk about what forgiveness really is (hint: it’s not about them), how our emotions affect us physically, and some simple practices that can help us let go and feel lighter. If you’re ready to stop letting the past take up so much space and make room for peace and joy, this one’s for you   What Was Discussed: 00:00 Intro 01:08 Do we really need an apology to heal? 04:05 Getting hurt is just part of life 04:54 The impact of pent-up emotions on your body 05:36 Just let it go 06:29 Forgiveness isn’t about them, it’s about you 08:09 Forgiveness is strength, not weakness 10:22 How journaling helps you heal 12:33 Putting forgiveness in God’s hands 15:53 The 4 steps to forgiveness 17:43 Becoming forgivingly fit 21:11 Imagine forgiveness in your mind   Follow Radhi: * https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia/ [https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia/] * https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWe9A4kMf9V_AHOXkGhCzQ [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWe9A4kMf9V_AHOXkGhCzQ] * https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/ [https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/] * https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevlukia [https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevlukia] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
