EP: 96 How Do We Learn To Forgive with Rachael Coopes

What if forgiveness wasn’t about the other person - but a radical act of self-love?In this deep and gently powerful episode of Consciously Alive, Phoebe sits down with beloved Play School presenter, author, and yoga teacher Rachael Coopes to explore her newest book The Art of Forgiveness - a modern-day manual for letting go, reclaiming peace, and finding a way forward.Blending ancient wisdom with neuroscience, personal stories with expert interviews, Rachael brings a refreshing and deeply compassionate take on what forgiveness really means - and what it doesn’t. With a clear boundary around trauma and abuse, she redefines forgiveness as something you do for you, not to condone, forget, or “move on.”From Indigenous teachings and Stoic philosophy to Chinese medicine and mindfulness, this conversation is rich in soul, science, and self-compassion. If you’ve ever struggled to let go, hold boundaries and a soft heart, or forgive yourself for being human - this one’s for you.In This Episode, You’ll Learn: ✔️ Why forgiveness is more layered than we think - and why it’s often misunderstood ✔️ How resentment physically and emotionally impacts your body and mind ✔️ The surprising health benefits of forgiveness (like better sleep + lower blood pressure) ✔️ Why self-forgiveness is often the hardest - and most vital - path to peace ✔️ How Rachael weaves yoga, philosophy, and culture into practical tools ✔️ The link between boundaries, empathy, and true forgiveness ✔️ Insights from leaders, psychologists, pro athletes, and Indigenous elders💡 BONUS: Take this with you: It’s safe to feel it all and still choose peace.🎧 Tune in now to uncover what letting go really looks like - and how it can set you free.🔗 Follow Rachael on Instagram @rachaelcoopes and get your copy of The Art of Forgiveness.Break the Cycle — a 2-hour guided end-of-year nervous system reset.Understand your patterns, regulate your body, and create a grounded plan for 2026.This is the reset your future self will thank you for.December 7th 2025 - 9am - 11am GMTLearn more HERE > Links & Resources: Connect with Phoebe on Instagram Trial The Self Care Space — your online library for nervous system healing and emotional regulation Access your free Calm Again class — a nervous system reset you can do anytime Join Phoebe’s Monthly Newsletters — Holistic business advice OR emotional resilience insights, straight to your inbox Visit phoebegreenacre.com The Regulated Course Creator — create and launch your course without stress or burnout Thanks for being here for another heart-led episode of Consciously Alive.
