In this episode, we’re going to explore a topic that touches nearly all of us: self-forgiveness. Why is it so difficult to forgive ourselves when we make mistakes, when we feel we’ve fallen short, when we’ve hurt someone or ourselves? And how might we begin to soften into a different relationship with our past, our flaws, our “should-haves” and “what ifs”?

n this heartfelt episode of I Care About You, Juliana sits down with Kelly Booker to explore what it truly means to be authentic. Kelly shares her journey of shedding expectations, embracing vulnerability, and learning how to show up as her full self in both personal and professional spaces. This conversation offers wisdom, laughter, and inspiration for anyone ready to live more truthfully and connect more deeply with themselves and others.

Since the filming of this podcast, the book's release date has been put on hold. But never fear, her Substack is a great place to explore her writing, thoughts, and beautiful musings on life.

Today, I want to share something deeply personal that came to me recently — an intuition download — and explore with you how judgment, especially toward those we love, can often be a mirror to our own shame, fear, and shadows. This is going to be a vulnerable conversation. I share this not because I have all the answers, but because I’m walking the path of seeing more clearly — and I believe in the power of witnessing our shared human experience. So let’s talk about this!

I’ve been sitting with something lately — an intuition download that kept nudging me: judgment isn’t just about others. It’s a mirror. A mirror to our own fears, insecurities, and hidden parts we’ve shoved away. Especially when it comes to those we love — parents, caregivers, people who shaped us. I share this not because I’ve cracked the code, but because I’m walking this journey with you. Because I believe in the healing that comes when we see ourselves more clearly, together.

We’ll be looking through the lens of mindfulness, drawing on Sharon Salzberg’s Real Change: Mindfulness to Heal Ourselves and the World. I recently read this book along with her other book titled Loving Kindness: The Revolutionary Art of Happiness. Here is a link to Sharon's book and website: https://www.sharonsalzberg.com/lovingkindness.

I want to ask you a few really important questions. What if anger isn’t the enemy we often think it is? What if it has a purpose, if we can meet it with awareness rather than be consumed by it?

Today, we answer these questions. About Juliana J Please support the show and my work!
