Special Edition! You're Invited: Uncover Your Forgiveness Habits Workshop

Friend,
In this special edition, I invite you to a brand new workshop I created called Uncover Your Forgiveness Habits.
I wonder if you resonate with any of these:
You were, at some point, forced to say you were sorry as a child when you didn’t actually mean it.
A caregiver may have punished you for an infraction you were accused of without hearing your side of the story and made you apologize. 
You saw people in your life say, “It’s OK” but hide their resentment.
The offended party might have brushed off the incident but then gossiped about the offender afterwards.
Adults in your life gave each other the silent treatment and never truly resolved conflicts.
You might have sensed that something was off or distance between your caregivers. 
You held yourself accountable for something that wasn’t actually your fault.
We are often taught that children are supposed to be seen and not heard, and it’s easy for us to internalize shame and blame that does not belong to us. 
If you answered yes to one or more of these, the Uncover Your Forgiveness Habits Workshop is for you.

S1E49 Healing Our Parts: Internal Family Systems Therapy with Claire Schiemer

Friends, 
In this episode, I sit down with Licensed Therapist and Coach Claire Schiemer to discuss the transformative power of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. As an advocate for integrating spirituality into healing, Claire shares her journey and expertise in using IFS to help clients navigate trauma and find forgiveness.
Claire explains the fundamentals of IFS, highlighting how it views symptoms as parts of ourselves that need compassion and integration, rather than problems to be fixed. By understanding and addressing these parts, individuals can achieve deeper healing. The conversation also explores the profound connection between IFS and Christian principles, emphasizing the core self as an embodiment of God's image and grace.
Whether you're struggling with past traumas or seeking to improve your relationships, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice for harnessing the power of IFS to foster forgiveness and personal growth. Tune in to discover how you can begin your journey toward wholeness and self-compassion.

S1E45 What's Your Forgiveness Attachment Style?

Friends,
In this episode, I  delve into the psychological concept of attachment and how our early childhood experiences with caregivers influence our approach to conflict and forgiveness.
I discuss the foundational work of psychologists like John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth, who identified various attachment styles—secure, avoidant, anxious, and disorganized—and their implications for our adult relationships. Learn how these styles can affect your capacity to forgive and navigate conflicts effectively.
Discover why securely attached individuals might find forgiveness more accessible, while those with anxious, avoidant, or disorganized attachments face unique challenges in letting go of past grievances. Understanding your attachment style can be a valuable tool in healing relationships and moving toward self-possession and love.

S1E44 The Stewardship of Forgiveness

Friends, 
In this episode, I explore the concept of forgiveness as an area of stewardship. Drawing inspiration from biblical parables and stories, I delve into how forgiveness can be seen as a valuable gift from God that we are called to steward wisely.
I reflect on the parable of the talents and the story of Joseph to illustrate the importance of using the gift of forgiveness to heal and grow spiritually. I also share practical insights on how to become better stewards of forgiveness in our daily lives, emphasizing that the more we forgive, the more grace we receive to heal our wounds.
