What if the way out of resentment isn't punishment, but love? In this episode, we explore The Tools: Active Love—a practice to free yourself from rage, grudges, and the endless replay of injustice.

In this episode of Question Yourself, Diane Leja and Bethany Meloche introduce Active Love, the second tool in Phil Stutz's The Tools. Designed to break the cycle of resentment and release you from what Stutz calls "the Maze," Active Love is a simple yet radical practice: sending love to those who've wronged you.

It's not about excusing bad behavior or letting people off the hook. It's about letting you off the hook—freeing your mind and body from the grip of anger.

You'll hear Bethany's story of testing the tool after a mortifying restaurant experience, and Diane's account of using it when confronted with a scammer. Together, they explore how Active Love shifts the experience of pain and injustice, and how it bridges both spiritual and biological perspectives.

Whether you're replaying a hurtful comment, holding a grudge, or struggling with someone in your life right now, this episode offers a practical way to wash out the negativity and return to clarity, compassion, and strength.
