In order to heal you must be willing to feel. The good, the bad, and all the experiences you encounter.

Sara Schulting Kranz exemplifies this practice. She is a professional life and leadership coach, motivational speaker, and certified wilderness guide. She specializes in helping those who have suffered hardship or trauma to find forgiveness and strength in their lives through guided wilderness retreats in locations such as the Grand Canyon and the Pacific Rim.

In this episode, she discusses with Dr. Susanne her commitment to changing the definition of “forgiveness” in The Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the science of trauma, and her story as a survivor of sexual assault, rejoicing in nature, and how she made sense of it all in her new book Walk Through This: Harness the Healing Power of Nature and Travel the Road to Forgiveness.
