In today's episode, Paula engages in a profound conversation with Jackie White about the transformative power of forgiveness. They dive into the truth about forgiveness: that it’s not about forgetting or excusing what happened — it’s about freeing yourself. Forgiveness isn’t a performance; it’s an act of power. It’s saying, “I refuse to carry this any longer.” Because holding on to anger or guilt? That’s like drinking poison and waiting for someone else to suffer. Jackie shares her journey and the simple, powerful Hawaiian practice of Ho‘oponopono, built around four small but mighty phrases: 1️⃣ I’m sorry 2️⃣ Please forgive me 3️⃣ Thank you 4️⃣ I love you Together, we explore how these words bring us back to responsibility — not blame — and help us release the emotional weight we’ve been dragging. We also talk about how forgiving yourself can be the hardest part — especially when you’ve spent years putting everyone else first. But this is your invitation to be your own coach, your own comfort, your own beginning again. 💫 It’s time to stop performing for your worth.💫 It’s time to let go of guilt and remember your original innocence.💫 It’s time to forgive — not for them, but for you. BEST MOMENTS "Forgiveness is a path to inner peace. Self-love is everything. And so three things for self-love: one, to love yourself; two is forgiveness; and the third is meditation." "If you're not feeding those cells with love and understanding and compassion, then you're doing harm to yourself." "Holding on to hurt is like you drinking the poison and waiting for the other person to suffer or die." "With Ho'oponopono, there is only me in my reality. If it's in our consciousness, we are that." "I'm sorry for whatever is in me that's created this event. Please forgive me for my unconscious thoughts."
