How much pain is caused by holding grudges or never forgiving… not forgiving others AND not forgiving yourself!?  Let’s talk about the capacity to forgive!  Jon  and Will are joined by Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher John Abate to talk about letting go of these toxic grudges!  
John has lived through a tragic personal event that might leave most men forever bitter, angry and resentful. Instead through the power of forgiveness John transformed this event from a soul crushing experience into a life of peace and living on purpose.
