Choosing Forgiveness with Leila Abdallah

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode touches on themes of loss, grief, and forgiveness after tragedy. Please listen with care.

In this Episode, Joany Badenhorst sits down with Leila Abdallah, whose life changed forever on February 1st, 2020, when a tragic accident claimed the lives of three of her children and their cousin. In the face of unimaginable grief, Leila and her husband Danny chose forgiveness - a decision that has transformed their lives, their family, and their future.

Leila shares her journey of choosing to forgive, and the practical steps that anyone can take to release anger, heal, and find peace. Together, they explore:

• Why forgiveness is a choice—not a feeling
• The four steps to forgiveness inspired by her children:

• ACKNOWLEDGE the pain and its impact
• ACCEPT what cannot be changed
• SURRENDER the pain to find peace
• VOICE your choice to forgive

• How forgiveness strengthens resilience, family bonds, and even future generations
• The heart behind “i4Give Day”, a national day encouraging conversations and acts of forgiveness held annually on February 1st.

Leila's story is a powerful reminder that while we can’t control what happens to us, we can choose how we respond - and that forgiveness can transform lives.
