Offended

We have all been offended at some point in our lives. And whether the person knows they offended you, it felt traumatizing. 

When you feel doubt and disappointment in someone, it’s impossible to see past the situation. You never resolve things and still feel the pain from yesterday. 

But refusing to let go only tarnishes your future. You can’t feel kindness from others or find new opportunities. Learning not to be offended is the highest form of freedom to yourself. You choose what controls you. 

In this episode, you’ll discover the freedom of not getting offended (and how to move through your past).

Show Highlights Include:

  • How to soothe your sensitive spirit (when you feel like exploding into anger). ([0:52])
  • The two emotions blocking you from having healthy conversations and healing pain. ([2:00])
  • Using John the Baptist to heal from offensive situations and be greater than grudges. ([5:26]) 
  • Why you can lose the anger and release the resentment (without being offended again).  ([8:30])
