Episode description as stored
In this deeply personal episode of WE Podcast, Joe Mittiga challenges one of the most common and damaging beliefs in personal growth: that forgiveness is something you can simply choose or force. Drawing from grief, recovery, childhood trauma, and decades of inner work, Joe explains why forgiveness is not an action step, but a natural outcome of real emotional healing . This conversation offers relief to anyone who’s been told to “just let it go” while still carrying unresolved pain and reminds listeners that struggling to forgive doesn’t mean you’re broken, it means there’s a part of you that still deserves care, safety, and compassion.
