#30: How to Forgive Your Ex

BREAK UP BESTIE
About this episode

Forgiveness is SUCH an important part of break up recovery. There is a time and a place to be angry and express that anger about your ex, but there needs to be a point where we look at those feelings from a different perspective so we can forgive and let go. In this episode I talk about why it's so improtant to forgive, how to do it, and also why YOU are the person you probably need to forgive the most.
