How do we walk through this scary life classroom with the grace of a master? Here's a show we did in the fall of 2021 that is still 100% relevant.

Exploring the Promise of True Freedom
What is true freedom? As Mary and Erin tell it, the healing experience of forgiveness delivers the promise of freedom because freedom is an inside job. You become free, as you dissolve the heavy weight of a bad old story, and something sparkly enters you instead. In the moment of forgiveness, your own soul pours in and empowers you to walk forward with a lighter step. Inner freedom is becoming unencumbered by guilt, shame, sorrow, disappointments, injustices, or false notions of who you are, enabling you to entertain fresh new choices in your life. In this episode, you will also enjoy some of Mary's favorite moments of glorious human freedom when she was teaching forgiveness in Ireland. Enjoy this "revisit episode" from our very first season!
