In this week’s episode, Barb and Michelle tackle the topic of apologies, and how to spot the difference between a real one, and a fake one. They also distinguish between apologizing and making amends and which practice is more powerful in mending relationships.

Episode Notes:

Here is a quick overview of what IS NOT an apology:

• I am sorry but….
• I apologize if what happened upset you…..
• I regret that happened…..
• I apologize if you….

A real apology doesn’t make excuses. It takes responsibility and makes changes to the behavior.
