Brenda Reiss, Forgiveness and Grief Coach joins Sheila Delaney on Crazy Beautiful Truth. We sit with the question: What if forgiveness isn’t about them—it’s about you finally being free?
In this soul-deep, no-BS conversation, forgiveness and grief coach Brenda Reiss joins Sheila to unpack the messy, holy, and life-giving work of letting go. From bathroom floor moments to radical self-acceptance, they explore how blame, shame, and resentment keep us stuck—and how forgiveness can be the key to reclaiming our power, peace, and vitality.
This isn’t about performing forgiveness. It’s about doing the real, raw work of loving yourself back to life.
