How to make peace with the past (Episode 295)

How do you let go of the past when it still hurts? In this episode I show you how to make peace with the past — without pretending it didn’t happen — so you can move forward. You’ll learn what real peace looks like, why rumination keeps you stuck, and how to stop waiting for closure that may never come. We’ll talk about acceptance (not avoidance), self-compassion, boundaries, grief work, and practical ways to carry your story differently.

By the end, you’ll know how to let go of the past, move forward with intention, and take back your power… even when you can’t change what happened.

👉 Ready to carry the past differently? Then let’s talk!

💡 TL;DR: You can’t change the past, but you can change how you carry it.
