Friends,

This episode is the first of three in a Holiday Mini-Series on Reflection, Healing, and Choice. As we enter the holy days of Christmas and prepare to bid farewell to 2025, I'm revisiting one of the most listened-to episodes of the Forgiveness is for YOU podcast: Self-Forgiveness & Internal Family Systems (IFS).

The holidays often invite reflection, and sometimes a tendency to be hard on ourselves. This conversation offers a gentle reminder to approach every part of yourself with compassion. Through the lens of IFS, I explore:

• Why self-forgiveness is foundational to healing
• How IFS helps us understand and care for our “internal parts”
• The power of small, grace-filled steps toward wholeness
• How to meet yourself with patience, kindness, and truth

As you listen, I invite you to slow down, breathe, and offer yourself the same tenderness God offers you. May this episode bring peace and encouragement to your Advent season.

If you have a story to tell about overcoming adversity, returning to faith and forgiveness, I am lining up guests for 2026. Reach out to me at info@drcarron.com. I'd love to see if we're a good fit!
