#33: Forgiving your Younger (and More F*cked up) Self

Truth and Dare: Female Empowerment, Authentic Conversation, Real Transformation

Forgiving ourselves is tricky... We know we need to do it if there’s any hope in us living our truth and daring to change, but why is it so damn hard? Maybe it’s because our past behaviors make us wince, or maybe it’s because it’s so much easier to simply leave the past in the past, tucking it neatly in the dark corners of our minds never to be seen, heard, or spoken to again. Sounds simple enough… but we all know that never works. In order to begin the process of healing and loving ourselves fully, we have to come face to face with our past and learn how to forgive ourselves for the decisions we’ve made. In this episode, we’re unpacking why it’s so vital to accept our past and get to a state where we agree to ‘let it be’. We’re also addressing some of the younger behaviors that we would like to forgive (yes, we’re holding onto some serious stuff), and we’re talking about techniques that we’re using to help us move forward and heal – things that we believe can work for you, too. The point of this journey is not to beat ourselves up over and over again for the things we’ve done wrong. It’s about growing, learning, falling down, getting back up, and loving ourselves through it all. Forgiveness is the gateway to that love. Ready to start forgiving?
