OTR Forgiveness
Who told you forgiveness was something you owed? Somewhere along the way, most of us picked up the idea that healing has a finish line, and that finish line is forgiveness. That you're not really free until you've let them off the hook. That the anger still sitting in your chest is proof you haven't done enough work. Anastasia and Janet are pulling that apart. In this episode, we get honest about what forgiveness actually is — and what it absolutely is not. It's not forgetting. It's not reconciliation. It's not a performance you put on so everyone else can be comfortable. And it is not a debt you're required to pay to someone who never asked and never apologised. We talk about the pressure that comes from family, from faith, from the well-meaning people who tell you to just let it go. We talk about what it feels like in the body to hold onto something — the jaw, the shoulders, the tightness that lives under the ribs. And we talk about the quieter question underneath all of it: what happens when the person you're struggling to forgive is you? There's no timeline here. No one is grading you. But if you're ready to look at what you're still carrying, and to decide — on your own terms — what stays and what gets set down, come sit with us. Forgiveness isn't a gift you hand over. It's a door you choose to walk through, when you're ready, and not one moment before.
