Just Love Them
Shiree Best
If you have searched to understand loved ones who have left their religious faith, this show is for you. As a mother of six out of seven children who have chosen a different path from the one they were raised in, I intimately understand the profound struggle this journey entails.
On this compassionate exploration we share moments of laughter, tears, and resilience. Through insightful interviews, we unravel the personal struggles of individuals whose loved ones have ventured away from their initial beliefs, and how they emerged on the other side with newfound understanding and peace.

The Divine Art of Forgiving
Forgiveness always starts with an offense—someone hurt you, and now you're left to deal with the pain. Sometimes you get an apology, and sometimes you don't. But what happens when you're stuck with feelings you can't shake? How do you forgive when your emotions seem beyond your control?
In this episode, Shiree talks about the real struggle of forgiveness, especially when you're left without the apology you hoped for. She offers three simple but powerful ways to help you let go of the hurt and find peace, whether it’s forgiving a close friend, a family member, or even yourself.
