TUNGKOL SA EPISODE NA ITO
What if the thing that's been holding you back — in your relationships, your work, your sense of self — has absolutely nothing to do with anything that's happened recently? And what if one of the most powerful things you could do for your health isn't a supplement, a practice, or a morning routine, but forgiveness?
This week Sarah is joined by returning guest Dr Jane Lewis, Huna practitioner and coach, to explore ho'oponopono — an ancient Hawaiian approach to forgiveness that is a very long way from letting people off the hook. Before you decide this one isn't for you, Jane starts by dismantling everything most of us assume forgiveness means. It isn't condoning. It isn't forgetting. It isn't giving your power away to the person who hurt you. It's quite the opposite — and once that reframing lands, the rest of the conversation opens up in ways you might not expect. In this episode you'll hear about:
- The three grades of offence in Hawaiian tradition — and why all of them deserve to be released
- What psychologists call the state of not forgiving, and the very real physical impact it can have on the body over time
- Jane's own deeply personal story of childhood bullying that resurfaced decades later as burnout and clinical depression — and how ho'oponopono was central to her recovery
- Why the process can be done entirely in your own mind, takes as little as 10–15 minutes, and requires no contact with the person who hurt you How unresolved hurt shows up as patterns — in new workplaces, new relationships, new situations — long after you think you've moved on
- Forgiveness in grief, and why sometimes the person we most need to forgive is someone we've lost
- Generational forgiveness — and what happens when the baggage we're carrying isn't even ours to begin with
Whether you're carrying something from years ago or simply curious about where this ancient practice fits in modern life, this is a quietly powerful conversation about one of the most overlooked tools for feeling better.
