Have an episode suggestion? Text us! Forgiveness is an incredibly complex topic. Many times we feel that forgiving someone is the same as condoning their behavior and that we are "Letting them win" as we drop our guard and decide to give them another chance. That could not be farther from the truth. Forgiveness is a gift that we give ourselves, and sometimes other people. We discuss what...
