Episode Details

Many men carry pain in silence—not because they’re weak, but because they never learned it was safe to feel. In this episode, Shannon Curtis shares how forgiveness can be a grounded path to reclaim power and return to your true self.

This conversation is for men who feel “fine” on the outside but stuck inside—especially if old wounds keep resurfacing. You’ll learn a practical way to start healing through safety, curiosity, and self-forgiveness, without excusing what happened.
