Friends,

In this episode, my husband, Steve Silva, and I delve into the emotional journey of losing a long-standing friendship following the recent election. As we discuss the power and liberation that forgiveness provides, we explore ways to bridge the political divide, especially during the holidays. We share insights on managing emotions and setting boundaries while emphasizing the importance of self-giving and understanding.

We introduce Pope St. John Paul II's 'The Law of the Gift' and how it embodies the essence of selflessness and share how our brains are wired for community.

If you or someone you know struggles with forgiveness, consider buying my '5 Days to Forgiveness' self-guided audio retreat, available at www.drcarron.com at a special holiday price. Together, let’s explore how forgiveness can renew relationships and bring peace into our hearts and homes.

Friends,

*Content warning* In today's episode, Birth Trauma Recovery Coach Brigid Tebaldi and I discuss obstetric violence and the trauma some women experience when giving birth. This topic is not for minor ears and could be triggering for those who have suffered infertility or traumatic births. Please use discretion when listening.

If like me, you’ve never even heard these terms before, it's worth a listen. This information is valuable for both men and women, because you know what? It takes two to tango and two to heal together from the trauma that might have been inflicted.

It may not strike us as anything to be concerned about, but obstetric violence is more common than we think and most women who experience it don't speak up or blame themselves for what happened to them. It's time to lift the veil on birth trauma and obstetric violence, and my guest today does that with much grace.

Friends,

In Episode 50, I interviewed speaker, coach, author, and Master Licenced Clinical Social Worker and Professor Belinda Terro Mooney about her career as an addictions counselor and how she's navigated forgiveness in her own life and with clients. In this second half of the interview, we talk about her Carmelite spirituality and her latest book, Pray with Us, A Saint for Each Day. I introduce the episode with a brief background on the saints and my experience of adapting to the belief in the intercession of saints as a new Catholic believer.
