Forgiveness can be one of the hardest things we are asked to do, and one of the most freeing.

In this episode, Dr. Darlene sits down with Overseer Diane Seaman, of Good Samaritan Ministries, to have an honest conversation about forgiveness: what it is, what it isn't, why we struggle with it, and what happens when we choose to learn rather than remain defined by our painful experiences. They share personal stories of forgiving others and themselves, offering reflections on the lessons that can emerge from life's most challenging moments.

On a day when we collectively remember unimaginable loss and the lasting impact of September 11, this conversation offers an opportunity to reflect on healing, humanity, compassion, and the difficult journey of letting go.

At the heart of the conversation is Dr. Darlene’s BLOOM philosophy: a reminder that loving ourselves and others more can include extending grace, embracing lessons from our past, and creating room for healing and growth.

To continue the conversation and learn more about the power of forgiveness, join Dr. Darlene at Overseer Diane Seaman’s Forgiveness Luncheon on November 7, 2026.
