In the first episode of the 3 episode series 'Forgiveness or Revenge', hosts Brenda Adelman and Louisa Hext delve into their personal journeys with forgiveness.

Brenda shares her story of forgiving her father, who murdered her mother and later married her aunt,- something she explored through writing her successful one-person show, My Brooklyn Hamlet, which she has performed worldwide. She also has a book, My Father Killed My Mother and Married My Aunt: Forgiving the Unforgivable (available on Amazon) with her proven 3 step forgiveness process. She also has a digital training called Phoenix Rising.

Brenda was honored to receive the Hero of Forgiveness award from the Hawaii In International Forgiveness Project, has a master's in Spiritual Psychology and has given workshops for youth-at-risk, for mental health trainings and for women prisoners. She's been a life coach specializing in forgiveness and setting healthy boundaries and healing stories since 2006.

The hosts discuss the natural human tendency towards revenge, the complexity of forgiveness, and the notion of peace as a destination.
