About this listen

 Are you struggling to forgive yourself? Do you hold a grudge against someone who harmed you physically, emotionally, or mentally? Do you find it hard to forgive the adults in your life who were supposed to protect you, but didn’t? Do you hold resentment against a whole class of people because you’ve been discriminated against? I’VE BEEN THERE. I KNOW. I’m Dr. Carron Silva, Your Forgiveness Guide. As a woman of faith, I’ve spent the last 30 years seeking healing for sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, and healing from racial discrimination. What I’ve learned is that therapy could only take me so far. I believe that FORGIVENESS IS THE WAY TO INTERIOR FREEDOM, but we cannot do it alone. We need God, and in particular, Jesus, the Divine Physician, with the love of the Holy Spirit, to help us through a process of forgiveness. On this podcast, I talk about all the things that help you develop a lifelong skill of forgiveness and empower you to forgive yourself, others, and God. As a Certified Wholeness and Catholic Mindset Coach, I help you to navigate emotionally challenging situations, cultivate resilience after trauma, and in a nurturing emotionally safe, empathic, nonjudgmental, confidential coaching relationship.

    S3E3: Finding a Therapist Who "Gets" You: Safety, Belonging and the Heart of the Father with Dr. Matthew Bruninger
    Jan 20 2026

    Friends,

    Finding a therapist who truly “gets” you can be challenging, especially if you’ve experienced both painful and healing moments in therapy. In this episode, I’m joined by Clinical Psychologist Dr. Matthew Breuninger to explore what creates safety in the therapist-client relationship, why belonging is essential to healing, and how our relationship with God the Father can shape the therapeutic journey.

    We discuss what to look for in a therapist, how to discern when coaching has reached its limits, and the heart behind the KNOWN program, which Dr. Breuninger co-created with Isaac Wicker, a program I’ve personally participated in twice.

    This episode is for anyone who has felt unseen in therapy, struggled with trust or belonging, or is seeking deeper healing at the intersection of faith and mental health.

  • S3E2: Heart Surgery: Finding Freedom in Christ After Abuse with Mandy Horne

    S3E2: Heart Surgery: Finding Freedom in Christ After Abuse with Mandy Horne
    Jan 13 2026

    Friends,

    In this episode of Forgiveness Is for YOU, my guest, Mandy Horne shares how a medical crisis became the turning point that exposed an abusive relationship, revealed unexpected protection, and opened the door to a new calling in nursing.

    While recovering in the ICU, Mandy experienced both betrayal and God's grace through family, friends, strangers, and quiet moments where Christ made His presence known. We talk about how trauma clarifies truth, how forgiveness does not require denial, and how freedom often begins when we listen to what pain is teaching us.

    This episode is for anyone who has faced illness, emotional abuse, or family dysfunction and wondered whether healing and purpose were still possible on the other side.

  • S3E1: Meeting the Challenge: Forgiveness, Faith, and Our Mission for 2026

    S3E1: Meeting the Challenge: Forgiveness, Faith, and Our Mission for 2026
    Jan 6 2026

    Friends,

    In this first episode of Season 3 of Forgiveness Is for YOU, I sit down with my husband, Steve Silva, to reflect on how life’s challenges shape us, stretch us, and invite us into deeper freedom through forgiveness.

    After a Christmas retreat spent in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, I share how the Lord has been clarifying the mission of this podcast, my coaching practice, and our new farm as we step into 2026.

    Together, we reflect honestly about growth through hardship, and share our vision of inviting people to come and work with us on the farm and walk through a guided forgiveness process with me as their coach.

    We also extend a gentle invitation to our listeners to partner with the Forgiveness Is for YOU podcast financially, helping us bring this message of healing, faith, and freedom to a global audience.

    If you’re navigating challenges, discerning your next season, or longing for growth rooted in Christ, this conversation is for you.
