Forgiveness can feel impossible when the pain runs deep. In this episode of The Giant Builders, Lois Wyant sits down with Natalie Baird King, a family law attorney, mediator, and aspiring author, to talk about what forgiveness really is and what it is not.
Natalie shares her powerful story and explains why forgiveness is a daily practice, not a one-time decision. She also breaks down common myths like “forgive and forget” and “forgiveness excuses what happened,” and replaces them with something far more honest and freeing.
You’ll hear a vivid word picture that might stay with you for a long time. The backpack full of rocks we carry when we hold onto resentment, and what happens when we finally set it down.
Natalie also teaches her HOPE framework:
Harken back, Open your heart, Proclaim forgiveness is for you, Experience freedom.
If you’re carrying something heavy, this conversation offers a real path forward.
Natalie’s book: Forgiving Unforgivable
