So often the toughest person to forgive is the one you face in the mirror. The path to recovery is never a straight line; it’s filled with both the lowest moments and most rewarding victories you’ll ever experience.
In this episode, Deena explores the tender subject of forgiveness, and confronts the truth that while the past is unchangeable, the present and future offer a blank slate for healing and growth.
In this episode, you also hear:
- Releasing the weight of remorse and self-hatred
- Celebrating your progress
- Choosing the path that suits you best
Must-listen moments:
[00:05:50] You may have lived with your pain, your guilt, your resentment, your anger for many years. Allow yourself the time you need to forgive yourself.
[00:11:22] Sometimes we forget to pat ourselves on the back and say I have done a great job. It may not look like it, but I have.
[00:12:19] It's okay to know that your road is different from somebody else's road and to accept that somebody else can do it this way and I can only do it that way.
