EPISODE 40: TURNING PAIN INTO PURPOSE AND THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS WITH EMILY GOUGH
* Please Note - Some links in this post may be affiliate links *
Hello Friends and welcome back to the Is That Soh Podcast!
Today on the podcast I have invited fellow podcaster and human connection & transformational coach, Emily Gough to come on and talk to us about the power of forgiveness and how forgiving someone who hurt you is actually for you.
Like a rug ripped out from under her, Emily’s life took an unexpected turn when she found out on Christmas Eve her ex had been having an affair for the last 9 years. Forced to take matters into her own hand, Emily ended the relationship, sold her house and nearly all her belongings, and booked a solo one-way ticket to the opposite side of the globe. Today, Emily inspires others through her podcast and coaching to take ownership of the circumstances life has handed them and create a deeper sense of meaning and purpose from major life transitions.

- FORGIVING SOMEONE DOESN’T MEAN -
You are excusing someones actions or pardoning them from committing them!
You NEED to tell the person that he or she is forgiven. You can keep that decision to yourself.
You won’t be triggered or have any further feelings about the situation.
There is nothing further to work out in the relationship and that you should let go of what happened if you want to move forward.
You should forget the incident ever happened.
You have to continue to include the person in your life.
You need to do for the other person. Many of the benefits around forgiveness are actually for you
