**Leveraging Forgiveness as a Strength**
Forgiveness is a powerful character strength and skill that can appear deceptively difficult to master.

When we feel hurt by someone, or upset at ourselves, how do we move past the emotions of the moment to understand what is really happening in that situation?

In this episode of *Practicing Connection*, Jessica Beckendorf shares with co-host Coral Owen and our listeners a process that helps build muscle memory for forgiveness, and understand why it's so important: to turn the negative into a positive for both you and the other person.
