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 today's episode, I speak with author and domestic abuse survivor Shelley Edwards Jorgensen. Shelley shares her traumatic experiences growing up amidst domestic violence, culminating in the tragic murder of her mother by her father. Through her narrative, we explore the complex dynamics of familial abuse and the burdens it places on children.
Drawing from her book Beautiful Ashes: A True Story of Murder, Betrayal, and One Woman's Search for Peace, Shelley recounts heartbreaking moments from her past and discusses how faith and forgiveness played a pivotal role in her healing journey. This episode is a testament to overcoming unimaginable adversity, guided by the belief that where sin abounds, grace abounds even more.
Join us next week for Part Two of Shelley's story, where she delves into the lessons learned and her profound understanding of forgiveness.
