"There's always your truth, their truth, and the truth.  What was my perception doesn't mean it was the truth, but I need to allow myself that space to see what I interpreted. without the judgement."

Look back over your life and you'll find situations and events where people hurt you.

It's natural to feel anger and resentment towards people who caused us pain in some way. These emotions carry weight and energy, but it's not easy to let them go.

Forgiveness journaling is a powerful practice that can help you find closure with difficult emotions and memories and set you free as a result.   

In this episode, empowerment coach Crystal Gayle Brisson reveals how to use your journal as a tool for forgiveness. 

Crystal is on a mission to see how many women can begin to live the fullest expression of themselves through her Mindset & Emotional Intelligence Coaching.
