Forgiveness is about acceptance. Forgiving people becomes easier if you can look at them and accept them. 

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Karen Wilson, a Certified Trainer at The Infinity Life, an intuitive guide and author passionate about helping others. The protagonist of a loveless childhood and a set of bad choices as a result, Karen learned the ways of life the hard way. After many years of Grief and realizing that her happiness depended more on forgiveness than she thought, Karen followed her passion for helping others and self-development and became a Certified Trainer. 

Throughout this episode, Karen shares details of her tough upbringing and her personal story, which she shared on the international best-seller Ignite Forgiveness. She also talks about how learning about self-development changed her perspective on forgiveness, unnecessary grief, and happiness. 

Additionally, she talks about how writing down her story helped her get rid of things she thought were buried, the true power of forgiveness, and more.

Having gone through the experience of the deaths of so many loved ones, I have learned to face life with love, optimism, and joy.

I have kept journals and written to express myself most of my life which led me to a career of teaching writing and writing books. I naturally turned to writing to help deal with my grief, then I discovered I could use writing to help friends deal with grief, too.

In contemplating how I could best help the grieving people I was working with, my Ignite moment came when realized the importance of helping people understand the importance of happiness and how they could grieve and be happy at the same time.

To share my message, I host the Grief and Happiness podcast, I wrote the book Loving and Living Your Way Though Grief, I facilitate weekly meetings of the Grief and Happiness Alliance, I founded the Grief and Happiness nonprofit foundation, I publish a weekly newsletter and blog, and my new book, The Grief and Happiness Handbook is coming out soon.
