(Fear, Outrage & Grievance), it's time we find a better way to engage. That all starts with each of us as individuals. We cannot control all that we encounter within our day to day lives, or the environment in which we live, but we certainly have the ability and responsibility to control how we react to it. For me, it starts with gratitude and personal accountability. Take a listen and see if there is something here to help you in taking your part in turning down the hate.

The Transformative Power of Forgiveness: Unlocking Healing and Resilience
Today we’re diving back into a topic that I believe is fundamental to personal growth, emotional healing, and resilience: forgiveness.
Now, we all hear that word a lot—people say, “Just forgive, forget and move on,” like it’s some quick decision, a one-time event. But my guest today, Katharine Giovanni, knows firsthand that forgiveness isn’t a destination—it’s a process, a journey, and sometimes, the hardest step we’ll ever take.
Katharine is a three-time award-winning, best-selling author, a dynamic speaker, and a highly sought-after forgiveness coach. Beyond the accolades, what makes Katharine truly stand out is her personal story of resilience. From surviving stage 3 breast cancer to overcoming a traumatic childhood, she’s lived through experiences that many would call unforgivable—and yet, she’s found a way to move forward, not just surviving, but thriving.
Her latest book, The Ultimate Path to Forgiveness: Unlocking Your Power, is a game-changer because it doesn’t just tell you to forgive—it shows you how with a step-by-step approach.
Takeaways from our conversation today:
- Forgiveness is essential for personal healing.
- Self-forgiveness is often the hardest but most important step.
- You can forgive without wanting a relationship with the offender.
- Forgiveness can be a step-by-step process.
- Energy plays a significant role in how we experience forgiveness.
- Forgiving others can lead to emotional freedom.
- You can forgive even the unforgivable by breaking down the memory.
- Forgiveness is a journey, not a sprint.
- Your energy attracts similar energy from others.
- Forgiveness can transform your life and relationships.
