EP211: Stop Saying Sorry — It’s Killing Your Confidence (and What to Say Instead)


Listen Later

"Self-love is essentially the opposite of guilt because when you constantly say sorry, and you're communicating guilt, you are training your subconscious mind that you're at fault." -- Meg

In this episode:

  • Why “sorry” has become an automatic habit for so many people.
  • 8 common situations where you can stop apologizing right now.
  • What to say instead that feels confident, respectful, and aligned.
  • How apologizing on autopilot slowly chips away at your confidence.

Do you catch yourself saying sorry all the time—when you haven’t actually done anything wrong? Maybe you apologize for bumping into someone in a crowded hallway, soften your requests with a quick sorry, or find yourself typing it into emails when you really mean thank you. If you’ve ever felt like you’re shrinking your energy to make others comfortable, or you want your words—and your apologies—to carry more power, this episode is for you.

Today, I’m breaking down why so many of us (especially women) over-apologize on autopilot, what it does to your energy, and how you can shift out of it. We’ll cover 8 times you’re probably apologizing when you don’t have to—that's a lot of unconscious guilt you are carrying into your day! You’ll learn how to make simple swaps that keep your energy strong, your presence confident, and your real apologies meaningful.

This is your invitation to stop shrinking, start taking up space, and show up with unapologetic confidence.
