Forgiveness isn’t about excusing others—it’s about healing yourself. In this transformative episode, forgiveness expert Dara Mckinley introduces a revolutionary approach to forgiveness as a healing modality, blending somatic awareness, emotional processing, and the power of unconditional love.

Through her personal story of betrayal and recovery, Dara reveals why traditional forgiveness methods often fail and how we can use the “divine mind” within us to access the wisdom and love necessary for deep healing. Learn how to identify the emotions that keep us stuck, liberate yourself from looping narratives, and transform pain into peace.

With practical tools like somatic practices, creative externalisation, and self-compassion, this episode is a guide to achieving emotional freedom. Whether you’re healing from a single wound, enduring ongoing challenges, or grappling with generational pain, this conversation will inspire you to embrace forgiveness as the ultimate act of self-love.

About Dara Mckinley

In 2012, Dara Mckinley’s life took a profound turn when two decades of experience in psychology and spirituality failed to help her navigate a deeply challenging situation. Desperate for relief, she turned to forgiveness but found that while there was plenty of discussion on why to forgive, there was little guidance on how. Determined to heal, she developed her own step-by-step process and experienced a breakthrough, finding peace for the first time in three years. This transformative experience sparked a lifelong devotion to forgiveness as a powerful healing modality. Recognising that mainstream forgiveness definitions often obscure the true path to healing, Dara created How to Forgive, a practical and spiritual framework that guides people in transforming pain into peace. Today, Dara empowers others to move beyond conventional forgiveness narratives, offering a clear, actionable process to heal wounds, restore balance, and reclaim their emotional freedom.
