Series Overview: Welcome to the Ruthlessly Intentional™ Series — a four-part journey through Honesty, Healing, Forgiveness, and Happiness. In this series, Coach Del invites you to stop drifting through survival mode and start choosing growth, peace, and purpose on purpose. Each episode blends real stories, biblical truth, and practical steps to help you bounce back stronger through God’s love.

Episode Focus: This week, Del opens her heart about the layers of forgiveness — from childhood wounds to adult betrayals — and what it really means to let go without losing yourself. Through honest reflection and faith-rooted insight, she shows how releasing resentment doesn’t excuse the pain; it reclaims your peace and honors your healing. If you’ve ever struggled to forgive while still protecting your boundaries, this one will speak directly to you.

• The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation

• How to release pain without sacrificing your peace or boundaries

• A real-time reflection on what it looks like to live forgiveness in motion

• Scriptural reminders that freedom and healing go hand in hand

Who — or what — do I need to release so that I can make room for peace?

Ephesians 4:31-32 | Psalm 147:3

Forgiveness doesn’t erase what happened — it releases what’s been holding you. When you let go with wisdom and grace, you make space for peace to take root and stay.

The Weight of Unhealed Emotions from Trauma

Some of us aren’t tired because we’re doing too much — we’re tired because we’re holding too much. When emotions go unprocessed, they don’t disappear. They get heavier.

We’ll talk about:

• What happens when we avoid or suppress emotions
• The “Big Four” feelings that follow trauma
• Why Jesus wept — and what that means for us
• How to release emotional weight and make space for peace

✨ Friend, emotions aren’t weakness. They’re sacred invitations to heal.

Recognizing Trauma in Your Own Life (The Signs You Might Be Carrying More Than You Think)

Trauma doesn’t just live in the past — it often shows up in our present. From people-pleasing and perfectionism to overworking, isolation, or control, these are more than habits — they’re survival strategies we learned in hard seasons.

In Part 3 of the Trauma Series, we’re holding up the mirror. I’m breaking down how trauma shows up emotionally, physically, and spiritually, and how to begin recognizing the patterns that may still be shaping your life today.

We’ll talk about:

• Common trauma responses that look “normal”
• How the body keeps score when the heart stays guarded
• How early experiences shape adult responses
• The faith connection between stillness and safety
• Why awareness is the first step toward true healing

✨ Friend, you can’t heal what you won’t name — and you can’t name what you won’t see. It’s time to look inward with grace, not guilt.
