Summary

If you’ve ever carried the weight of past hurts, disappointments, or offenses you know how heavy that burden can feel. In this episode, my friend, Alexandra Hoover shares how to release what’s holding you back, embrace radical acceptance in Christ, and step into the kind of emotional freedom that allows you to live with joy again. We talk about why offenses hit us so hard, how to handle relationships when the hurt keeps coming, and what it really means to live unoffendable. This is a conversation about finding healing, hope, and abundance on the other side of letting go.

0:50.5	to be lived on the other side. How do we realize when actually a hurt is coming our way?
