Welcome to The SonRise Project! I'm Kelli Joy Richardson, and I would like to thank you for joining us in this safe space where all your questions on mental health, parenting, and emotional well-being are welcome.

Joining me is our resident expert Dr. Linda McGhee here to share her insights and offer guidance as we navigate through Freeing Ourselves From Guilt. Follow her on Instagram: @linda_mcghee1

What You'll Learn:

In this episode, Dr. McGhee dives deep into the silent weight of guilt that so many of us carry — the kind that lingers long after we have apologized, made amends, or moved on in every way except emotionally. She will explore the difference between healthy conviction and destructive guilt, why women in particular struggle to release themselves from past mistakes and perceived failures, and the practical and faith-filled steps we can take to finally lay it down, extend grace to ourselves, and walk forward with a lighter heart. A freeing and deeply personal conversation for anyone who is ready to stop being a prisoner to what they can no longer change.
