I share a spontaneous “bathtub prayer” that revealed a missing layer in my forgiveness journey—forgiving myself—and why that choice can free your energy, soothe your nervous system, and reopen connection with God, your body, and others.
Episode Highlights:
- The onion-layers of forgiveness: why issues return at deeper levels
- Autoimmune insight: moving from body-attack to body-partnership
- Coaching threads: resistance to movement and old narratives in the body
- Faith lens: Joshua’s “stones of remembrance” to anchor your decision
- 3-step practice: name it → visualize it → leave it at Gods’ feet
- Claiming freedom out loud: “I choose forgiveness, and I receive freedom.”
