Forgiveness is one of the most challenging—and liberating—virtues we can practice. In this episode of The UpWords Podcast, host Jean Geran, sits down with Dr. Robert Enright, a pioneer in the scientific study of forgiveness and the founder of the International Forgiveness Institute. Bob shares his remarkable journey from asking a “dangerous question” about the purpose of his research to becoming a global leader in forgiveness education.

We explore:

· What forgiveness is—and what it is not

· Why forgiveness is a moral virtue

· The psychological and spiritual benefits of forgiving

· How forgiveness can break cycles of generational trauma

· Practical steps for forgiving others and yourself
