Resentment isn’t the opposite of love, it’s a sign of deeper desire.
Learn why forgiveness alone can’t heal the heart, and what truly restores connection.

In this episode, Angel explores how those small, unspoken hurts quietly drain the love in a relationship, why forgiveness alone doesn’t work, and what it really takes to clear resentment so that love can flow again.

You’ll learn:
• Why “micro-resentments” matter more than big betrayals
• The emotional bank account of love
• How to speak truth without blame
• What it means to “play the deeper game”
• Why desire is the hidden key to repair

Includes a simple relational practice to help you reconnect and restore openness in your partnership.
