What if the key to your peace, your health, and even your sense of freedom isn’t something you need to find — but something you need to let go of? In this episode of Beyond 80%, Ryan Olexson sits down with award-winning author, coach, and speaker Catherine Giovanni to explore forgiveness as a radical act of self-liberation. Catherine’s approach isn’t about excusing harm or pretending it didn’t happen — it’s about reclaiming your power from the pain of the past.

Why forgiveness is often so difficult — and why “just get over it” doesn’t work.
The emotional, physical, and even spiritual cost of holding onto resentment.
Catherine’s practical, step-by-step process for moving through forgiveness at your own pace.
How releasing the past changes the way you relate to yourself, others, and the future.
