I’m thrilled to be joined by someone I’m privileged to call my new friend, Wholesome Growth Strategist at Serenity Oasis, business influencer and coach, Harvard Business School student, and author of the new book “Forgiveness: Overcome Emotional Trauma, Heal Relationships and Find Inner Peace in Just 8 Simple Steps” Nyeesha Williams! We’ve had the opportunity to spend the past month not only recording this episode, but collaborating together for the virtual event “Going Beyond Your Brand As You Knew It”, where Nyeesha was one of our incredible panelists. Nyeesha is a cheerleader for women to help them survive, heal and thrive through the steps she outlines in her book.
Our conversation today is centered around forgiveness, from contemplating what it truly means and how it serves us both positively and negatively - all of which is the foundation of Nyeesha’s story and brand. First, Nyeesha takes us through the events that brought her to where she is today. Her first book as an author was the product of her truth and coming to terms with her deep unhappiness in her life and in her relationships, resulting in a spiral of rejection from her family. It was then that Nyeesha learned the practice of forgiveness as a pathway to healing herself from past trauma, rather than holding pent-up resentment against the ones she loves (8:12). Today, she teaches other women how to do the same.
Nyeesha then shares the importance of practicing forgiveness as a means of freeing yourself, letting go and having the ability to see in front of you more clearly in order to move forward (19.14). To do this, Nyeesha recommends a couple of simple steps to healing from her book: Searching for the Truth (20:55) and Tapping into Empathy (21:48). We then discuss the current social injustices we face today, and how empathy is the key to sparking that change (26.25).
