Dear Oprah…

I can’t believe it’s been two years since Brad and I went to LA to shoot the documentary for Oprah. If you don’t have AppleTV+, you can watch my part of it here. The one thing that shocked me after the episode aired, was the amount of women that reached out for support from their abuse. I felt so honored that they trusted me enough to share a painful part of their past. If you have been abused and need to talk, I am here for you. Always. Please reach out. If you are struggling with forgiveness, I heard a quote the other day that has stuck with me. It said, “Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping it hurts someone else.” Unforgiveness only hurts you. When you forgive, it doesn’t mean you are letting someone off the hook. It’s saying that you aren’t going to let that situation poison you any longer. Will you still struggle with memories and triggers? Of course. I do, too. But your heart won’t be as angry and bitter. It takes time but you can get there. I promise.
