In this episode, we confront one of the most uncomfortable truths of emotional healing:

Peace does not come from getting closure — it comes from deciding you no longer need it.

“Choosing Peace On Your Own Terms” is not about pretending nothing hurt.

It is about refusing to keep bleeding just because someone else never apologised, never explained, or never changed.

So many people remain emotionally trapped because they are still waiting:

• waiting for an apology

• waiting for validation

• waiting for accountability

• waiting for someone to finally “see” what they did

But peace does not arrive when other people mature.

Peace arrives when you do.

In this episode, I talk about the invisible cost of unresolved emotional contracts — the expectations we place on people who may never be capable of meeting them. I unpack how holding onto “one day they will…” keeps you emotionally tied to people who have already moved on.

We also explore: • why forgiveness is not the same as reconciliation

• how silence can be a form of self-respect

• why some people don’t deserve continued access to your inner world

• how choosing peace is sometimes an act of emotional rebellion

This is especially for those who were gaslit, ignored, betrayed, or emotionally neglected — and then told to “just move on” without ever being heard.

Moving on does not mean what happened was okay.

It means you decided your future deserves more energy than your past.

This episode will help you:

• stop negotiating with people who have already shown you who they are

• break free from emotional loops

• redefine closure on your own terms

• choose peace without needing permission

If you are tired of replaying conversations that will never happen,if you are exhausted from waiting for apologies that will never come,this episode is for you.

Because peace is not something people give you.

It is something you claim.

And sometimes, claiming it means walking away — quietly, firmly, and without looking back.
