Are you struggling to forgive yourself? Do you hold a grudge against someone who harmed you physically, emotionally, or mentally? Do you find it hard to forgive the adults in your life who were supposed to protect you, but didn’t? Do you hold resentment against a whole class of people because you’ve been discriminated against? I’VE BEEN THERE. I KNOW. I’m Dr. Carron Silva, Your Forgiveness Guide. As a woman of faith, I’ve spent the last 30 years seeking healing for sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, and healing from racial discrimination. What I’ve learned is that therapy could only take me so far. I believe that FORGIVENESS IS THE WAY TO INTERIOR FREEDOM, but we cannot do it alone. We need God, and in particular, Jesus, the Divine Physician, with the love of the Holy Spirit, to help us through a process of forgiveness. On this podcast, I talk about all the things that help you develop a lifelong skill of forgiveness and empower you to forgive yourself, others, and God. As a Certified Wholeness and Catholic Mindset Coach, I help you to navigate emotionally challenging situations, cultivate resilience after trauma, and in a nurturing emotionally safe, empathic, nonjudgmental, confidential coaching relationship.

Friends,
In this episode, I draw connections between my experiences as an immigrant to the United States and the Gospel of Jesus Christ in light of recent social media experiences. There are things immigrants know that others don’t. The sacrifice is deep—cutting ties with home, family, traditions, and futures imagined. We lose birthdays and funerals, the smell of our mothers' food, and the feeling of our language being spoken without judgment.
And now, as Catholic spaces online erupt with harsh, often dehumanizing rhetoric about immigrants—many of whom are people like me—I feel heartbreak. I exhort listeners to be merciful and mindful about their thoughts and use of language. This episode invites listeners from all backgrounds to reflect on mercy, generosity, and the human cost of freedom.

Friends,
In this episode, my guest, Allison Brown, and I delve into the intertwined experiences of faith, grief, and forgiveness. We explore how faith can be both a source of comfort and struggle, particularly in the face of miscarriage—a topic often shrouded in stigma and silence.
Allison reveals how the child loss has shaped her understanding of joy amidst suffering and the transformative power of forgiveness.
She discusses how having healthy boundaries with self and others have helped her overcome trauma.
We address the often-overlooked pain of miscarriage within the church and in communities and the healing that can come from sharing these stories.
