What’s a moment in your life that changed how you see the world?

Episode Summary

In this episode of Unlearning the World: Through the Looking Glass, we explore the power of forgiveness—what it really means, why it’s so difficult, and how it can set you free. From personal betrayals to friendships that fell apart, we share our own experiences with learning to forgive, not just others, but ourselves.

Forgiveness isn’t about excusing someone’s actions—it’s about releasing the weight of resentment and allowing yourself to move forward. But what happens when closure isn’t an option? And how do you truly forgive yourself?

Key Points Covered This Episode

• Why forgiveness is more about you than the other person
• The difference between forgiving and forgetting
