Episode 27: Forgiving Him



Forgiveness is one of the tougher things we battle with on a day to day basis. To forgive means to trust, and trust is something that is not easily obtained or rebuilt. Who needs forgiveness? Why should you let go? How many chances do you give?

Here is something common for all of us: we expect people to forgive us for the wrong we have done, but to forgive someone else is much tougher. We need to take a step back, evaluate the relationship that is at stake, and move forward. Life is too short to hold resentment towards others.

Episode 25: My Dad



Each episode in Season 3 is going to pull on your heart strings. We all have given up on things in our lives but when we start talking about giving up on significant figures, such as a parent, it begins to shape our character and what we believe in as we grow. We had a great conversation about how our fathers have played huge roles in our development and how others can learn from their parent’s mistakes.

What do we do if we don’t have that figure? We dive into that question and many more.

Don’t give up…..
and darn it if you need some help don’t hesitate to ask.
