Carone Gordon, a wife, mother, grandmother, founder of the Helping Hands Ministry, and author of “Warrior Moms,” is on a mission to inspire individuals to embark on the powerful journey of self-forgiveness. With a passion for helping people break free from the chains of regret and self-blame, Carone offers workshops and one-on-one sessions that encourage self-reflection, self-compassion, and ultimately, reconciliation with oneself. Through her work, she aims to motivate her audience to live in the present, celebrate their now, and open up their hearts to a brighter, more forgiving future.
The journey of self-forgiveness is often overlooked, but Carone believes that it is a crucial step in achieving true transformation and emotional healing. She herself has experienced the weight of painful regrets and the toll it can take on one’s mental and physical health. “I’ve had to practice what I preach. I’ve had to learn the process of letting go of painful regrets,” Carone shares. “I found a healthy way to reconcile with myself, therefore escaping those torturous thoughts. I became mean to myself. Had I not stopped, I would have gotten mean to the people closest to me that I loved dearly.”
Carone’s passion for helping others stems from her own experiences, including starting a children’s home in her early 20s to care for young girls who had been molested. However, as she approached 40, she found herself struggling with regrets and feeling lost in the real world. “I was stuck in emotional pain and turmoil, which led to depression until I could reconcile with my thoughts and forgave myself,” Carone recounts.
Through her workshops, Carone aims to reach individuals who harbor regrets for missed opportunities, personal decisions, and circumstances beyond their control. She is particularly focused on the parent who sacrificed their dreams for the sake of their children, the individual struggling with the consequences of addiction, and anyone carrying the burden of guilt and shame. Carone passionately asserts, “I’d like to target that person who has a lung disease because of smoking or a liver disease from being an alcoholic, and they carry deep painful regrets that eat them away every single day.”
Her workshops focus on guiding participants through the process of self-reflection, encouraging them to take responsibility where needed, and showing self-compassion and acceptance for their fallibility as human beings. “You are human, and all humans make mistakes,” Carone emphasizes. “Living in your now, celebrate your now and use your valuable time and energy to plan the way forward.”
Carone Gordon’s workshops offer a safe and supportive environment for individuals to share their own experiences and journey towards self-forgiveness. By providing both one-on-one sessions and group workshops, she tailors her approach to suit individual needs and preferences.

In conclusion, Carone Gordon’s mission to inspire self-forgiveness and embracing one’s present is a powerful message that resonates deeply with her audience. By sharing her own personal journey and experiences, Carone brings hope and motivation to those struggling with regrets and self-blame. Her workshops empower individuals to let go of the past, free up mental and emotional space, and pave the way for a brighter future filled with self-compassion, self-love, and forgiveness.
As Carone Gordon eloquently puts it, “Reconcile with your past, become a friend of yourself today so you can fall in love with your future. Living in the past in your head is robbing you of mentally and emotionally preparing for your future so you can achieve your goals.”
