114 ~ The Art of Forgiveness with Rachael Coopes : Finding Peace, Healing, and Self-Compassion
Description
In this soulful episode of Before You Bloom, Hayley sits down with beloved Play School presenter, actor, writer, and author Rachael Coopes to explore one of life’s most profound and challenging lessons : forgiveness.
Rachael’s new book, The Art of Forgiveness, is a comforting and practical guide that invites us to look at what it truly means to forgive: ourselves, others, and the stories we’ve carried for far too long. Rach unpacks how holding onto resentment affects our minds and bodies, what ancient wisdom can teach us about letting go, and why self-forgiveness is one of the most powerful (and often neglected) acts of healing.
Whether you’re navigating heartbreak, disappointment, or the struggle to release old wounds, this episode is a tender reminder that forgiveness isn’t about forgetting or reconcilling, it’s about freeing yourself to live with more peace, compassion, and grace.
