Dara McKinley is a forgiveness expert who has created a new paradigm for forgiveness—as a healing modality. In 2012, with two decades of psychology and spirituality behind her, Dara McKinley faced a difficult situation that none of her previous knowledge could improve. Feeling called to try forgiveness, she searched online for a forgiveness 'how-to' and quickly discovered that there was so much about why one should forgive, but nothing about how. Needing directions to follow, she decided to make her own forgiveness step-by-step, which upon completion, left her feeling peaceful for the first time in three years. Impressed by forgiveness' effectiveness she quickly became a devotee. Over the coming years, her experience with forgiveness would deepen and so would her awareness of popular forgiveness understanding. Specifically she saw that most people had something they wanted to forgive but they didn't know how. She also saw that mainstream forgiveness definitions were actually obscuring the forgiveness path. In Dara's program How to Forgive, Dara guides participants beyond mainstream forgiveness understandings. Key Topics: - What brought Dara to forgiveness as a healing modality - Redefining forgiveness and separating it from pardoning - The negative impact on the mind-body when you don't forgive - Interpersonal vs. intrapersonal forgiveness - How self-forgiveness plays a role in healing - The three timeframes forgiveness can address Grab her course here: howtoforgive.com Learn more about her work here: daramckinley.com Join Erin's monthly email list: https://mailchi.mp/adde1b3a4af3/monthlysparksignup Buy Erin's recipe book, co-written by pediatrician Dr. Alina Olteanu here: https://a.co/d/ateoVxx

Dr. Erin Ellis began her career working with her business degree in restaurant management and though she enjoyed this line of work, she knew she was meant for more. In 2010, she was diagnosed with a rare form of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma at age 31. Receiving this diagnosis and kicking its butt gave her the drive, the motivation and the determination to get out of her own way and become that doctor that she always wanted to be. Having had a cancer diagnosis at such a young age, her mission and passion now is to empower those to take control of their health. This diagnosis proved to her that life is too short to feel sub-optimal and given the right tools, your body has the innate ability to heal itself naturally.
