39: Forgiveness vs Reconciliation: Stop Waiting for the Apology with Ganel-Lyn Condie
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Forgiveness vs Reconciliation — and why confusing them keeps you stuck.
In this episode of The Real Intelligence Podcast, Jenny Swim sits down with speaker, author and mental health advocate Ganel-Lyn Condie to untangle one of the most misunderstood concepts in personal growth: forgiveness.
Forgiveness is not access.
It is not trust.
And it is not reconciliation.
Together, they explore how waiting for an apology drains your internal capacity, how resentment quietly erodes leadership and relationships, and why reclaiming your power starts internally — not externally.
You’ll learn:
- The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation
- Why you can forgive someone who never apologizes
- What to do when old pain resurfaces
- Practical tools for moving forward without abandoning yourself
This is a grounded, emotionally mature conversation for leaders, parents, and high-capacity humans who want peace without pretending, and boundaries without bitterness.
Forgiveness isn’t about outcomes.
It’s about stewardship of your own energy.
