Have you ever made a big decision in the middle of pain, anger, or fear — only to regret it later? In this week’s episode of The Well Done Life, we’re unpacking why it’s so important to pause before we act, especially in temporary spaces of distress.

This episode is a companion to “Creating Spaces We Didn’t Have.” Because yes, you can build safe spaces — but you can’t thrive there if your heart is still closed, carrying shame, or refusing to forgive yourself.

We’ll explore:

How temporary emotions can lead to permanent consequences. The difference between reciprocal vs. codependent relationships. Why self-forgiveness is essential to healing and building healthy community. How releasing past disappointments opens us to God’s purpose.

When we forgive ourselves, we free up space for love, belonging, and true community. Every healed decision expands our ability to create and dwell in spaces where we can grow.

Tune in now — and remember: just because something looks one way today, doesn’t mean it will stay that way forever.

Key Takeaways (bullet list):

• Don’t let temporary pain dictate permanent choices.

• Forgiveness, especially self-forgiveness, breaks cycles of shame.

• Reciprocal relationships are the foundation of community.

• Healing decisions open the door to God’s purpose and peace.
