In this final episode of The Five Regrets to Avoid in Life, Doug Holladay and Jamie Haith take on one of the most difficult—and transformative—truths of the human experience: the cost of withholding forgiveness. Whether directed toward others or ourselves, the inability to forgive can quietly shape our relationships, decisions, and inner peace.
Doug shares how forgiveness is often misunderstood as forgetting or minimizing what happened. But true forgiveness, he explains, isn’t about erasing the past—it’s about choosing freedom over bitterness, and healing over self-protection. Drawing on stories from his own life and those of leaders he’s walked alongside, Doug offers a path forward through the pain.
This episode is a profound reminder that forgiveness is not weakness—it’s strength. And choosing it just might release us from one of life’s deepest regrets.
