Stop Waiting for an Apology: How to Forgive After a Breakup (or Any Hurt) & Fina

March 25, 2026

For the 252nd episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes life coach, transformation specialist, and author Dr. Dravon James. Dravon is the author of Forgiveness: The Pathway to Happiness?, and her approach reframes forgiveness as an act of self-love rather than as something we do for those who hurt us. In this episode, we talk about why waiting for an apology keeps you stuck, how unresolved resentment shows up in your relationships, and practical tools for starting a forgiveness practice—especially after a breakup, which is when I’ve needed it most. We also get into the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, and how to set boundaries without holding on to anger.
