Angela Pugh, host of Addiction Unlimited, brings a refreshing approach to tackling the heavy burden of regret and shame in her podcast episode 'How to Make Peace With Your Past (Even If You Regret Everything)'. With her no-nonsense attitude and a wealth of experience as a life coach, Angela dives into the emotional complexities that often accompany sobriety. She addresses the guilt and self-loathing many face when confronting past actions during their drinking days.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how shame can keep you stuck, and how self-forgiveness can liberate you from the chains of your past. Angela doesn’t sugarcoat the process. She discusses core beliefs that keep you trapped in shame, such as the idea that suffering proves you care or that forgiving yourself means letting yourself off the hook. These beliefs, she argues, only serve to keep you stuck in a cycle of self-punishment rather than moving forward.
Angela offers practical advice on how to shift your inner dialogue and take steps towards self-forgiveness. Throughout the episode, Angela shares a calming three-minute reflection exercise from her Self-Forgiveness Starter Kit, designed to help you reset in moments of emotional turmoil. She emphasises that forgiving yourself isn’t about excusing past mistakes but about freeing yourself from their grip. By releasing shame and embracing self-worth, you can start building a life you're proud of.
Angela’s candid and supportive style makes this episode an essential listen for anyone grappling with their past actions. Her message is clear: you deserve to move forward, and this journey begins with self-forgiveness. So, if you're ready to stop punishing yourself and start living like someone who deserves peace, Angela's insights might just be the catalyst you need.
