In this heartfelt solo episode of Sincerely Self, I celebrate two years of podcasting and share one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned on my personal growth journey: the transformative power of forgiveness.

I open up about my own experiences with forgiving my parents, rebuilding relationships, and releasing resentment—whether or not reconciliation was part of the process. From healing childhood wounds to texting old friends with unspoken words, I share how forgiveness isn’t about excusing the past, but about freeing your own heart and creating space for love, compassion, and peace.

Whether you’re struggling to forgive someone else or even yourself, this episode is your reminder that forgiveness is for you. Let go of the heaviness, soften your heart, and see how life begins to shift when you choose to forgive.

✨ What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• Why forgiveness is more about your healing than theirs
• My personal journey forgiving both parents after years of distance
• How releasing resentment can change the way you see the world
• Practical ways to forgive without needing reconciliation
• The role of faith, compassion, and empathy in softening the heart

🎉 Two years in, I’m excited to share a refreshed podcast brand, new cover art, and a renewed commitment to growth. Thank you for being part of this journey—whether you’ve been here from the start or just joined, your support means everything.

In this solo episode of Sincerely Self, Lexi dives into the neuroscience behind manifestation—moving past the idea that it’s “woo-woo” and showing how our brains are wired to shape reality through belief systems, repetition, and intention. She explains how the salience network works like a filter, constantly scanning for evidence that matches our subconscious beliefs, and why shifting from a lack mindset to an abundance mindset literally rewires the brain. Lexi also explores the difference between hedonic happiness (short-term gratification) and eudaimonic happiness (purpose-driven fulfillment), highlighting why intentions rooted in helping others are more sustainable and powerful. Along the way, she opens up about her own struggles with scarcity thinking, shares personal encouragement for those facing dark times, and closes with a heartfelt reminder that you are loved, worthy, and here for a reason.
