About this episode
Think you’ve forgiven… but still feel stuck? You’re not alone.
Most of us were never taught what real forgiveness looks like—just the performance of it.
Say a prayer. Say the words. Move on.
Except… we don’t.
This episode will shift your view of forgiveness from a moment to a movement—one that actually sets you free.
👇 We’ll cover:
• The sneaky ways we fake forgiveness (without knowing it)
• 6 reflection questions to assess where you really are
• Tiny habits that rewire your brain + soften your heart
• Why peace ≠ emotional distance
• And how to know you’re actually healing
This isn’t about excusing anyone.
It’s about refusing to let bitterness narrate your future.
Our Pre-Marriage E-course is like coaching from your couch.
What’s inside?
✅ 6 bite-sized video sessions (30 min each)
