The Gold in Forgiving Yourself
There is a version of forgiveness we rarely talk about. Not forgiving the person who hurt you, but forgiving the version of yourself that was not ready to learn the lesson yet. On The League of Visionaries Podcast, I spoke about Edith Eger’s “The Choice” and why that harder kind of forgiveness sits at the heart of how leaders actually change. It is the same principle behind Kintsugi: the crack does not get hidden. It gets filled with gold.
