Welcome to the Forgive Yourself podcast, where we explore forgiveness and life's challenges. In this episode, I'm joined by Maureen Spielman, host of the Mystical Sisterhood podcast and a transformational life coach. Maureen's journey began with a life-altering diagnosis in 2018, which led her to embrace healing modalities and self-discovery. *"I believe that my diagnosis was an invitation to look at a lot of longstanding patterns I had within myself, that were not healthy for me anymore."* Maureen shares her story of overcoming breast cancer, the importance of sitting with oneself, and letting go of old identities. We discuss how health crises can serve as invitations to examine deep-seated patterns and emotions. *"I had carried a lot of years, I believe, anger, resentment, unresolved childhood patterning. And so that standstill moment in my life as well, created an opportunity for more light to come in."* Join us as we discuss the mystical, self-compassion, and women supporting each other. This conversation offers insights into self-forgiveness, connection, and discovering one's purpose. Whether you're facing a challenge or seeking inspiration, this episode reminds you that you're not alone and your journey is worth celebrating. Tune in to hear Maureen's wisdom and learn to embrace your path of healing and growth.
