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,
When a marriage ends, many Catholics are left asking: Where do I belong now? Am I still part of the Church? And can I ever remarry?
In this episode, we explore the reality of divorce through the lens of the Catholic faith and the often misunderstood annulment process.
My guest, Theresa Matters, shares her personal journey through divorce and her experience seeking an annulment, and offers insight into how the Church carefully examines the validity of a marriage and what it means to find freedom, clarity, and healing on the other side.
Whether you are:
- A Catholic navigating life after divorce
- Considering the annulment process
- Or simply curious about what the Church actually teaches
This episode will help you understand the truth and the compassion at the heart of the Church.
In This Episode, We Cover:
- What the Catholic Church teaches about marriage and divorce
- The difference between divorce and annulment
- Common misconceptions about annulments (“Is it just Catholic divorce?”)
- What the annulment process actually looks like
- How to know if you might be eligible
- A personal story of healing and starting over
