Summary
In this episode, we sit down with therapist and mother daughter coach Brittney Scott for an honest conversation about forgiveness, family wounds, and the pressure to “be the bigger person.” Brittney breaks down why forced forgiveness can stall healing, how the mother daughter relationship becomes the first blueprint for trust, attachment, conflict, and self worth, and what it looks like to release resentment without reopening access. We talk about the pendulum swing so many women make when they decide to parent or love “the opposite” of what they experienced, why that still keeps you trapped in the old story, and how real repair can change everything when it is available.
