Forgiveness Coach Katharine Giovanni: Secrets to Release Anger

That purple coffee cup blocking your view might be killing you slowly.

Katherine Giovanni held up her coffee cup during our latest podcast conversation and suddenly everything clicked. When she pressed it right against her face, she couldn't see anything else around her. No opportunities. No beauty. No way forward.

Just like when we hold onto anger and resentment from our past hurts.

Katherine discovered something fascinating during her cancer journey and 35 years of sobriety. She found that forgiveness isn't about letting someone off the hook or welcoming them back into your life. It's about getting toxic thoughts out of your head so you can finally see clearly again.

The woman who survived stage three breast cancer shared a simple truth that made my jaw drop. When you're focused on that purple cup of anger, bitterness and old wounds, you literally cannot see the healing opportunities sitting right in front of you. Your friends start disappearing because all you talk about is the bad stuff. Your life stops moving forward.

But here's the wild part. Katherine developed a seven step system that starts with the easy people to forgive first. Not the big scary number ten person who really hurt you. She starts with the kid who stole your sandwich or took your parking spot.

She even forgives the energy around objects and places. The chair where something bad happened. The building where you got hurt. Even entire years if they were particularly rough ones.

Because everything carries energy and that energy sticks around in your field until you clear it out.

This conversation with Katherine opened my eyes to how much old emotional baggage might be weighing down our healing journey. When chronic illness has you feeling stuck, sometimes the breakthrough comes from clearing out decades of stored resentment.

You can catch this entire eye opening discussion on our latest podcast episode. Katherine breaks down her complete forgiveness system and shares why most people do it backwards.
