In this vulnerable and deeply personal episode, Lindsey reflects on her evolving relationship with forgiveness through the lens of grief, healing, and motherhood. What starts as a tender moment of reflection becomes a powerful exploration of what it really means to forgive—not to excuse or forget, but to reclaim peace and choose release.
She speaks candidly about parenting through pain, breaking generational cycles, and learning to hold space for softness without letting go of truth. Lindsey also touches on the quiet, often-overlooked process of self-forgiveness—especially for the things we didn’t know or couldn’t control at the time.
If you’re holding onto anger, guilt, or grief—this episode is a reminder that forgiveness isn’t weakness. It’s freedom. And you deserve it.
