You carry more than just responsibility. You carry moments you wish you could change.

In this episode, Lydia explores self-forgiveness and the weight of guilt many caregivers hold. You will learn how to release what no longer serves you, soften your inner voice, and create space for peace without needing to be perfect.

This is not about forgetting the past. It is about freeing yourself from it.
