Forgiveness Is for You: How to Let Go of Anger and Stop Replaying the Past with Emily Ricks

Have you ever replayed a painful experience in your mind, wishing things had happened differently? If you're an over-giver, letting go can feel like excusing someone's behavior or allowing them to get away with hurting you.

But what if forgiveness isn't about making someone else feel better? What if it's about freeing yourself?

Today I'm joined by Emily Ricks, certified life coach and host of the Parenting Teens for LDS Moms podcast, to explore how forgiveness can help you release resentment, reclaim your peace, and move forward without abandoning your values.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How grievance stories keep you stuck in the past and drain your emotional energy.
• 
  
• The difference between what actually happened and the story you tell yourself about it.
• 
  
• Why forgiving someone doesn't mean excusing their behavior or giving up your boundaries.
• 
  
• How to rewrite painful stories in ways that help you feel more peaceful and empowered.
• 
  
• How to practice forgiveness, extend love to yourself, and stop giving other people control over your emotions.

You don't have to pretend that what happened was okay. You can honor your values, establish boundaries, and choose a different relationship with the past.

Remember: Forgiveness isn't another obligation on your to-do list. It's a gift you can give yourself.

Have you ever said yes to so many things that you end up wondering why you agreed to do it all? If you’re constantly helping others, overcommitting, and running on empty, it might be time for a change.

In this episode of Inner Work with MaryAnn Walker, we’re talking about people pleasing, overgiving, and how to stop overcommitting before you reach burnout. You’ll learn why having time available doesn’t always mean you have the energy or emotional capacity to give, how to say no without overexplaining, and why you don’t need to justify taking care of yourself.

Discover how to create a margin of safety in your schedule, protect your time and energy, and show up for the people you love without losing yourself in the process.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

• Recognize the connection between people pleasing, overgiving, and burnout.
• Protect your time and energy without feeling guilty.
• Say no without making excuses or managing other people’s emotions.
• Prioritize your needs and create more balance in your life.

You can be generous without being endlessly available. You don’t have to do it all to be enough. You already are.

Come work with me and let's create more of what you want by letting go of what you don't.
