Hey everyone, it's K-Sunga here. I just want to let you know that we've launched a brand

new call and advice podcast called Dear Headspace. Each week the headspace teachers, along

with some amazing new friends, are answering your questions about relationships, work,

life, mindfulness, and just about everything else. It's so different from anything we've

ever created and we're so excited for you to hear it. Dear Headspace comes out every

Tuesday on the Headspace app and anywhere that you listen to podcasts. Thanks for listening.

Hi, my name is Andy and welcome to Radio Headspace. So it's Friday morning. We are almost at the end

of the week and whatever your plan for the weekend, I hope you're going to have the opportunity

to let go, to relax. And today we're going to focus on how we can let go of grudges, how

we can find a place of forgiveness in our life. Yesterday I was reading the news and I was

really struck by a particular story of a driver, a man who'd been driving with his family

and been involved in an accident. And his entire family, both of his children and his wife,

were killed in the accident. And he was talking about how in the moment he was able to immediately

forgive. And I think for most of us, the idea in that situation that we could immediately forgive

the other person is almost unthinkable, it's extraordinary. And as he talked about it, he said

the reason that he was able to forgive was that when he was younger, he'd actually been involved

in an accident where he'd killed somebody. And that family had forgiven him and it enabled him

to go on and live his life. And thinking about that ripple effect of how we may forgive one another

over time, it's of course it's not always going to be in such extreme circumstances. And it reminded

me of somebody who wrote into headspace not so long ago. It was a lady she was in her in her 70s,

she wrote in paper and pen, lovegain letters like that. And she was telling me of her life really,

how when she was in her 20s, her husband, soon after they were married, her husband had cheated on her.
