Cara: How Forgiveness Can Set Your Free Better.

Cara Pollard is a friend and colleague of mine whose practice was born
out of a significant childhood event - one day, her mother left to “go
buy a pack of cigarettes” and didn’t return for an entire year.  Instead
of growing into an angry, resentful adult over this, Cara ultimately
used the experience as an opportunity to become an expert in the art of
forgiveness.  Cara’s here to share her story today, and detail how
forgiving her mother was essentially a pathway to deep healing, avoiding
destructive feedback loops, and creating the family and career of which she had
always dreamed.
In this episode we discuss:
-Her mother’s abandonment as a child, and how their relationship is now stronger than ever because of it
-Why you should never badmouth a parent to a child, regardless of the situation
-Is forgiveness more of a process, or a point in time?
-How her experiences as a child helps her coach other parents today
