Forgiveness

Change Your Life Through Transformational Coaching

Forgiveness is a Messy, Bumpy Road. It’s Crazy. And Life-Changing

Forgiveness is not the condoning of your hurt. It’s about reclaiming your power through transformational coaching.

Take control of your story by altering your outlook with the help of a forgiveness coach.

Are these thoughts familiar?

Am I enough?

Why do I feel so alone?

I can’t let go of my anger, judgment and frustration with myself and others.

I’m stuck in a joyless relationship… job… life.

Why can’t I ever just be happy?

If any of these thoughts have crossed your mind, then the practice of radical forgiveness might be the life changing thing you have been hoping to find.

What is Radical Forgiveness?

Changing the narrative from “this happened TO me” to “this happened FOR me”.

Life serves up many lessons, and they can propel us forward or leave us behind. Radical forgiveness is about regaining control to begin leading a better-quality life through forgiveness. 

“When life happens for us, we can choose how to respond and not react and make conscious decisions.”

Do I Need to Forgive the Offender?

Absolutely not. 

Radical forgiveness is about:

Taking back your power

Taking responsibility for how you feel

Training yourself to recognize triggers

Loving yourself

There is condoning or excusing negative behaviors. All that matters is making the intentional choice to move on and move forward because it is what is best for YOU.

What Forgiveness Is Not:

It is not condoning unkindness

It is not excusing poor behavior

It is not minimizing your hurt

It does not mean reconciling with the offender

What Forgiveness Is:

It is for you and not the offender

Taking back your power

Taking responsibility for how you feel

It is a trainable skill

It is a choice

Loving yourself with wisdom and grace

What is most important to understand is that forgiveness is not forgetting, condoning, excusing, or saying that hurtful conduct is okay.  And it is essential that forgiveness not be seen as obligatory.  Rather, it is a choice. 

How does  Radical Forgiveness work?

Radical forgiveness is a tool with a deeply spiritual dimension, allowing one to see how each obstacle in life is a gift. These gifts are healing opportunities to look inside your own mind and see the hidden, emotional blocks that keep you from living a more peaceful, fulfilling, healthier, and happier life.

These hidden blocks start to disappear as you begin to acknowledge and understand them. This results in healing your mind, body and soul.

When you view each obstacle in life as a gift, you reshape your reaction to them. Changing your perspective is the ultimate tool. 

Radical forgiveness is about realizing you already have this power within yourself. It is simply about learning to use it and understanding the steps that go into it. 

You deserve a life that you are in love with, not one that you simply live by going through the motions.

Colin’s mission was to create a World of Forgiveness with an easy to follow 5-step process.

To learn more about the concept of Radical Forgiveness I highly suggest reading the book, ‘Radical Forgiveness’ by Colin Tipping.

How Transformational Coaching Works

Book Your Discovery Call

The first step breaking your negative thoughts is to book a discovery call. This helps you learn about your triggers, trauma, and how radical forgiveness can help you regain a stronger sense of YOU.

Working Towards Fulfillment

Radical forgiveness is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It is a practice tailored to your unique struggles and qualities. The important thing is to find what works for you and what will help you move forward.

Maintaining a Positive Balance

Radical forgiveness doesn't happen overnight. Your struggles are not always a quick fix. They can be a burden that builds up over time. Why not spend the time to rework those burdens into things that make you stronger?

Testimonials
“Brenda has walked me through the Radical Forgiveness worksheets and concepts time and time again. She is patient and very generous with her time. She instinctually recognizes when I need time between lessons. I am still hard on myself, but she is always accepting of what is and lovingly encourages me to do the same. We laugh about one step forward and two backward. There are times that we are both amazed at my progress, yet she is careful not to take me further than I am ready to go. I find her instincts to be respectful and accurate. I’m honored to be on this journey with Brenda. Through Brenda and the Radical Forgiveness community, I am learning to receive the love.” –
Joanne

“I feel honored and blessed to have been part of Brenda’s Class. Brenda is a natural when it comes to being a great speaker! She is organized, loving, intuitive and pays attention to detail as well as how people are feeling. The group connected so well and we all benefited from each other’s insights and experiences. This study is a life changer and for the better. I highly recommend it and with Brenda’s extensive background of training and personal skills she is by far a teacher of excellence! Thank you Brenda so much!”
Saacha

“I have attended Brenda’s forgiveness workshops 2 years in a row and they are transformative. They come just at the right time, when I’m getting that stuck feeling again.   This work has helped me identify my blocks and release them. Brenda is divinely inspired and her radiant presence is compassionate, loving and supportive throughout the process.  I highly recommend her work if you are tired of being tired and ready to change your life for the better.”
Diana

“My husband and I were lucky enough to attend Brenda’s Radical Self-Forgiveness Group Class. Brenda’s blend of humor and compassion set the stage for open and honest conversations. We left each class with rich tools and guidance that, to this day, help us communicate, forgive, and move forward with a healthy and strong sense of self. When it comes down to it, it is the person in the mirror that needs our forgiveness to live a happy joyful life. I highly recommend Brenda’s council, workshops and book studies to anyone that wants to understand themselves and how self-image impacts relationships.” – 
Kathy

“I attended the Radical Self-Forgiveness book study because I realized that I had a major self- forgiveness issue and was looking forward to resolving that issue. Throughout the book study, I experienced considerable enlightenment and relief. Even more, now I have the tools necessary to bring quick relief and clarity to current self-forgiveness issues as they come up, which they continue to do. I would certainly recommend taking this book study to future participants if they are experiencing shame and guilt about themselves and their behavior past and present.”
Doug

“When I attended the ceremony I really didn’t know what to expect. But it was easy for me to think of an issue I needed to release. I had been angry and sad about the fact that my mother had had thousands of dollars stolen from her by a caretaker who was also a family friend. The police didn’t seem interested in pursuing the case and the bank was not being helpful. So that was my issue. Two days after the ceremony, I heard from my sister that the bank had given my mother the money that had been taken from her account and was now becoming the plaintiff in the case! So that was a real relief for me. I’m sure the ceremony didn’t hurt and it may have been the catalyst for the movement on this event.”
Judith

“Forgiveness is a process.  It does not happen overnight or in one declaration.

 I thought I had healed my heart from hurts from the past. I’ve attended years of counseling sessions, seminars…and then I have an encounter that takes me back, and the wound is raw, painful and I am transported back in time.

 Brenda Reiss’ The Magic of Forgiveness event is not your typical workshop.  It is truly amazing, transformative and life changing. Brenda masterfully guided our sold out workshop through exercises, rich tools and personal discovery.  This cathartic process helped me to let go of the anger, betrayal and pain that I experienced in my first marriage at a level that I have never before experienced.

 I walked away from this event feeling free, light and peaceful.  Brenda reminded us that the work that we had done that day would also effect the party we had focused on.  Ironically, my ex contacted me the next day, and asked if we could meet on the trip to Boston I had planned the following week.  The power of forgiveness really is magical!”
