Shownotes: How You Can Forgive ep #27
Forgiveness isn’t about letting someone off the hook—it’s about freeing yourself. In this powerful conversation with Dr. Fred Luskin, Director of the Stanford Forgiveness Project, we explore why unforgiveness harms mental health, how resentment fuels pain in both body and mind, and the practical steps anyone can take to release grudges, reduce stress, and create healthier relationships. If you’re struggling with anger, waiting for an apology, or feeling “ruined” by someone else’s actions, this episode offers proven tools for healing and inner peace.
