A FEW GOLDEN NUGGETS:

1. Understanding is the key that unlocks forgiveness: Forgiveness begins when we choose to understand. Seeing others through a lens of compassion doesn't excuse harmful behavior—but it allows us to release the resentment that weighs us down.
2. Forgiveness is a process, not a one-time event: Healing happens one memory, one moment, one emotional "brick" at a time. Like Kory said, "We broke down the wall one brick at a time."
3. You can break the cycle and create a new legacy: You have the power to say "Not me." You don't have to carry forward the pain of the past. You get to write a new story—one rooted in growth, love, and intention.

Tune in now and discover how forgiveness could be the missing piece in your personal growth journey—and how it might just change everything.
