What do you do when resentment makes perfect sense, but it is also slowly poisoning your life?
In this episode, I sit down with Rick Cheatham for a raw conversation about forgiveness, bitterness, grief, and what it takes to heal when life has taken a blowtorch to everything you thought you knew. Rick shares how loss, trauma, addiction, and anger shaped his story, and why he eventually realized that holding onto resentment was costing him more than the original wound.
This is not a soft conversation about “letting it go.” It is a real one. We talk about the poison of bitterness, the prison of victimhood, and the kind of forgiveness that is not about excusing what happened, but refusing to let it define who you become.
If you have ever been hurt deeply, betrayed badly, or found yourself stuck in anger you know is eating you alive, this episode will hit home.
