Dionne Nicholls-Germain on Empowerment Through Forgiveness

Episode 54

On this Episode of Fulfillment Equation

Our month-long deep dive into Fulfillment Concept #2: Rewiring Your Brain continues with this inspiring guest episode featuring the incredible Dionne Nicholls-Germain. Dionne refers to herself as a “Chief Forgiveness Officer” and teaches us about the life-changing empowerment that can come from making forgiveness a lifestyle. Her personal story of forgiveness is fascinating and strongly illustrates how choosing forgiveness can be a key that unlocks all sorts of remarkable opportunities for us. Together, we discuss how forgiveness is one of the highest forms of personal transformation. Dionne also explains to me the three different forms of forgiveness and how “reconciliation takes two people, but forgiveness only takes one”.

Our conversation also touches on trading in perfectionism for a spirit of excellence, and why it’s important to ensure our motivation is driven from our values and belief system rather than from a place of fear. Plus, it wouldn’t be a rewiring your brain chat without digging into the topics of growth mindset and gratitude.

Finally, we build Dionne’s equation: 28g + 7n + 7s + 7d + 7j + 7m + 3e + 5gr + 4f + 5P

It’s worth noting that one piece of Dionne’s equation is so unique to her that it might just have become my favourite equation element of all time. Listen to find out what it is!
