#65 How Do I... Let Go of a Grudge?

Ever feel stuck holding onto a grudge and know it’s zapping your energy? In this “How Do I…” episode of “Be the Sun, Not the Salt,” Dr. Harry Cohen and Connie Fontaine get real about the challenge of letting go - why so many of us find it hard, how resentment keeps us stuck, and what it actually takes to move on.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

• Why holding a grudge is like clutching a hot coal: you’re the one getting burned
• How compassion (not just forgiveness) can help shift your perspective and lighten your load
• Simple reframes and honest reflections about what it means to let go (and why releasing resentment doesn’t mean you’re not protecting your own roots)
• Lessons learned from guests who’ve faced the unimaginable and found a way to release the pain, including stories like Trinea Gonczar’s courageous path to healing and forgiveness
• A candid invitation to look at what you’re carrying, ask “Who is this serving?” and consider ways to release old baggage, one conversation, thought, or act at a time

If you’re ready to drop what’s weighing you down, find a little more peace, and make room for good energy, this mini episode offers humor, hope, and some gentle nudges toward freedom.

Tune in for honest conversation, practical perspective, and a call to let go - just a little - today.

(Mini “How Do I…” episode—perfect for anyone navigating tough relationships, struggling with resentment, or committed to growing wiser, not just older.)
