In this episode of The Collective Perspective, we unpack the hidden cost of holding grudges — and the life-changing freedom that forgiveness brings. Grudges poison our minds, our bodies, and our relationships, keeping us stuck in cycles of negativity and blame. Forgiveness, on the other hand, isn’t weakness — it’s one of the strongest choices you can make.
We talk about how grudges trap us in toxic thinking, how forgiveness shifts our mindset to growth, and how this process is especially powerful for those healing from trauma and PTSD.
Are you just going to sit there and dwell on what’s wrong — or take back your power, forgive, and move forward?
Join Jeff and Travis for practical ways to let go, think positive, and break free from the weight that’s holding you down.
Listen, share, and take on the challenge: Who do you need to forgive — and how will you start today?
