In this episode, Jon shares how choosing personal responsibility, accountability, and making amends transformed his life and relationships. We dive into the discomfort of facing our own missteps and the role self-forgiveness plays in rebuilding trust. Jon's story shows that while it's challenging to 'do better to be better,' the deep connection and fulfillment that come from healthier relationships make the work truly worth it.
