About this listen

Author and speaker, Alexandra Hoover joins Hanna Seymour for a powerful, honest conversation about offense, forgiveness, and freedom—and why so many of us are unknowingly living bound by past wounds.Drawing from her book You Can Let Go, Alexandra helps us identify the subtle signs of a heart carrying offense: insecurity, comparison, bitterness, jealousy, rejection, and a critical spirit. Together, Hanna and Alexandra unpack what Scripture actually teaches about offense—not as a feeling, but as a trap that keeps us from experiencing the abundant life Jesus offers.This episode doesn’t minimize pain. Instead, it makes a crucial distinction between hurt and offense, showing how healing requires surrender, honesty, and God’s power—not willpower alone. If you’ve ever felt stuck replaying conversations, struggling to forgive, or wondering why peace feels out of reach, this conversation offers clarity, hope, and a path forward.If you’re ready to stop carrying what God never asked you to hold, this episode is for you.In This Episode:• The difference between hurt and offense• Signs you may be living offended without realizing it• Why offense is a spiritual snare• What Jesus teaches about forgiveness and freedom• How healing becomes part of your testimony• Why letting go isn’t just for you—it impacts othersChapters00:00:00 Welcome + Episode Introduction00:02:00 Unexpected Joy & Everyday Delight00:05:30 Alexandra’s Story Behind You Can Let Go00:08:45 What It Really Means to Live Offended00:11:45 Symptoms of a Heart Holding Offense00:14:10 Offense as a Spiritual Snare (Matthew 18)00:17:40 Hurt vs. Offense: A Crucial Distinction00:20:40 Why Forgiveness Is a Process00:24:30 Healing, Prayer, and Releasing Control00:27:00 Letting Go as a Testimony00:29:30 “No Matter What” Encouragement00:30:15 Closing Prayer00:31:40 Book Mentions + Final ThoughtsKey Quotes“Offense is not something that happens to you—it’s something you pick up.”“To live offended is to live imprisoned by pain Jesus already paid to free you from.”“You can follow Jesus and still miss the abundant life He came to give.”“Healing isn’t just for you—it becomes a window of hope for others.”📚 Connect with Alexandra📖 You Can Let Go → https://a.co/d/60iY6R6📸 Instagram: @alexandravhoover💬 Connect with Hanna🌐 hannaeseymour.com📸 Instagram: @HannaeseymourPre-order Everyday Spiritual Habits -> https://hannaseymour.com/EVERYDAYSPIRITUALHABITS/🎧 Listen to No Matter What wherever you get your podcasts#Healing #NoMatterWhatPodcast #youcanletgo #lettinggo #AlexandraHoover #ChristianPodcast #ChristianWomen #SpiritualHabits #BusyMomLife #HannaSeymour
