Forgiveness Isn’t What You Think

<p>This is one of those conversations that goes deeper than surface-level healing.</p><p>In this episode, I sit down again with <strong>Grace L. Lamour, MS, LMHC</strong>, a licensed mental health counselor serving the New York, Florida, Virginia, Maryland- to talk about forgiveness—what it really is, why it matters, and how it impacts our physical, emotional, and mental well-being.</p><p>Grace brings a grounded and compassionate perspective shaped by her work with individuals from all walks of life, including high-achieving women, first-generation Americans, and those navigating burnout and major life transitions. With a background in special education and leadership in therapeutic settings, she has spent years helping people ask the right questions that lead to deeper healing and self-awareness.</p><p>Together, we explore:</p><p>-What forgiveness actually means (and what it doesn’t)-Why holding on affects more than just your emotions-How forgiveness supports healing in the body and mind</p><p>This conversation is honest, thoughtful, and incredibly important—especially if there’s something you’ve been carrying that you’re not sure how to release.</p><p>If you haven’t already, you can also go back and listen to our first conversation from <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/critical-conversations/id1716463260?i=1000653360475" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">April 2024 </a>for more of Grace’s work and perspective.</p><p><strong>Connect with Grace:</strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/the.g.lamour.method.llc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">IG: Grace L.
