Summary
Many of us have people who bring “toxic” energy into our lives.
About six or seven years ago I cut my mom out of my life. I had so much anger and resentment that removing her from my life felt like the best thing I could do to honor me.
But, what that actually did, was habitualize my pain. It had me holding onto my anger and resentment. Neither of which felt fun to feel. So, I got to work on feeling better. Not for anyone else but me. Now I feel only love and gratitude for my mom. And I am so thankful for this growth.
In todays episode I walk you through the several year process I went on in forgive someone who caused me immense pain, because *I* deserved that peace.
I hope you find it helpful.

| 0:58.8 | topic. It's something that I think a lot of people struggle with and it comes up a lot in my one-on-one |
| 1:05.8 | coaching sessions and it's something that we feel very convicted about. |
| 1:10.6 | And what I'm going to do today, I feel like a lot of times I want to offer you ways to reframe thoughts and hopefully you can walk out of an episode feeling a little lighter than you did walking in. |
| 1:21.0 | Today's topic is a little bit more deeply embedded in us, |
| 1:27.0 | I feel like. |
| 1:28.6 | And today I just kind of want to plant the seed |
| 1:32.1 | that there maybe is another option. |
| 1:34.0 | You might not fully move into feeling a different way on after this episode, |
| 1:39.7 | but I'm hopeful that at least I can plant the seed of possibility and I'm talking |
| 1:44.4 | about when you have someone in your life that you feel like is toxic or has |
| 1:52.4 | wronged you or you know has crossed the line too many times and |
| 1:56.8 | you're sort of teetering on do I even continue having a relationship with them or not? Do I even, did they even |
