Forgiveness is often misunderstood. It’s not about forgetting, excusing, or bypassing what happened.. it’s about releasing the energetic grip the past has on your body, nervous system, and soul.

And after this month-long pause from the show, we are back and I share some personal reflections, divine synchronicities, and a powerful message that came through repeatedly at the end of 2025 and into the new year: forgiveness is the gateway to ascension.

This week’s episode explores:

• Why January often feels slow on purpose
• When the same message keeps repeating, it’s not coincidence
• The distinction between passive acceptance and assertive protection of your energy
• What “forgiveness to ascend” truly means [and what it doesn’t]
• The significance of recognizing divine orchestration in our lives and the synchronicities that guide us
• Practical steps to release judgments and resentments that may be holding you back
• My annual rituals at the start of new calendar years [ yes, this episode is a bit of a personal share, too ]

So blessed to be back in your ears. Enjoy.

I pray this episode will grow and help you in some way. Sending my love and light,

J
