What if the heaviest burden you are carrying is not what someone else did to you, but the guilt and shame you hold against yourself? In this deeply personal and vulnerable episode, I share my journey of moving from guilt and self-punishment to true self-forgiveness. Through stories from my past relationships and powerful lessons from my own healing, I reveal how guilt can quietly shape our choices, keep us in toxic cycles, and convince us we are unworthy of love. Together we will explore: Why forgiveness is not about excusing the past but about reclaiming your peace How guilt and shame keep us stuck in patterns of self-punishment The real difference between forgiving others and forgiving ourselves Practical steps to begin reclaiming your worth and practicing self-compassion How releasing guilt transforms your past from a prison into a place of wisdom You will come away with tools to let go of shame, embrace your inherent worth, and step into greater freedom. This episode is an invitation to release what no longer belongs to you and to remember that you deserve love, happiness, and peace right now—not after you have “paid enough” for past mistakes.
