Forgiveness is often advised but rarely taught as a practical skill with step-by-step instructions. Catherine Giovanni, a three-time award-winning author and survivor of trauma, shares her revolutionary forgiveness system that doesn't require confrontation or reconciliation with those who hurt you.

• Understanding that forgiveness is selfish—you do it to free yourself, not the other person
• Listing everyone who makes you angry and rating them from 1-10, with 10 being the most difficult to forgive
• Beginning with easier people before tackling your "dumpster fires" or unforgivable situations
• Using a specific mantra to forgive the person, the energy around them, yourself, and the energy around the situation
• Forgiving gradually (10-12 people per session) to avoid overwhelming your body's healing process
• Recognizing that energy from anger stays in your body until you actively clear it, affecting your physical health
• Understanding that forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting or believing the other person was right—it means freedom
• Learning to forgive aspects of unforgivable situations, including forgiving yourself
• Seeing tangible results when memories no longer trigger emotional responses
• Acknowledging that you are worthy of joy, happiness, and your true authentic self

You are worthy to lead a life of joy and happiness. The anger is holding you from your birthright. Work this system and you will find your true, authentic self—the person you were meant to be.

What if the pain you've been taught to live with isn't your fate but simply a signal your body needs help? In this eye-opening conversation with Dr. Amy Novotny, founder of the PABR Institute, we explore a revolutionary approach to addressing chronic pain, stress, and anxiety that challenges conventional medical wisdom.

Dr. Novotny shares her remarkable journey from highly-disciplined academic to innovative pain specialist after discovering how changing her breathing mechanics transformed her own athletic performance. She explains how our bodies often remain locked in a protective fight-or-flight state, causing muscles to maintain an abnormal grip on bones and joints that results in pain we mistakenly attribute to aging or structural problems.

The most fascinating revelation? Many people undergo unnecessary surgeries and take lifelong medications for conditions that could be addressed by calming their nervous systems. Dr. Novotny explains that even "bone-on-bone" arthritis doesn't inherently cause pain—it's the abnormal muscle tension pulling bones out of alignment that creates suffering. Through her unique PABR method (Pain Awareness, Breathing and Relief), she teaches patients to release this tension and allow their bodies to function naturally.

You'll hear incredible stories, like how she instantly relieved a collapsed marathon runner's excruciating muscle spasms with a 30-second intervention that left medical staff stunned. For high achievers especially, this approach offers a way to maintain ambition without the physical toll of constant tension. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, considering surgery, or simply living with stress you've normalized, this conversation offers hope and practical wisdom for reclaiming your body's natural capacity for comfort and ease.

Katarina Polanska shares her proven approach for identifying and overcoming the unconscious blocks that keep us stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns and prevent us from finding lasting love.

• Childhood wounds like abandonment and feelings of unworthiness create unconscious relationship blocks
• "Opposites attract" is often rooted in wounded patterns seeking familiar dynamics rather than healthy complementary differences
• High achievers need to recognize their relationship patterns come from unresolved core wounds
• Learning to distinguish between your wisdom voice and fear voice is crucial for making healthy relationship decisions
• Setting clear boundaries and timeframes for relationship improvement helps avoid staying stuck indefinitely
• Women don't need to dim their ambition for successful relationships - the key is finding fulfilling work that energizes rather than depletes
• Healing comes through consistent inner work including therapy, coaching, somatic practices and self-reflection
• Our unconscious blocks affect who we're attracted to and how we show up in relationships
