I Can Forgive You and Still Release You

Forgiveness is powerful, but it doesn’t always mean reconciliation. In this episode, I explore the delicate balance between forgiving someone and knowing when it’s time to let them go.

I’ll share personal stories about growing up with messages like “sticks and stones may break my bones” and “don’t fight fire with fire” — phrases that shaped how I handled conflict and boundaries. For years, I believed forgiveness meant tolerating disrespect, but I’ve since learned that true peace requires clear boundaries.

We’ll talk about self-love, protecting your peace, and how to release people, even those you love — when they no longer honor your space.

If you’ve ever struggled with guilt around setting boundaries or wondered how to forgive without losing yourself, this episode is for you.
