The power of a genuine apology.

Why does saying sorry matter to the health of your relationships?

Why is it beneficial to both the person saying sorry and the person receiving the apology?

Why can't some people say they are sorry?

We cover it all today on the podcast!

This week on the I Care About You podcast, host Juliana Jay, author of Reasons to Live: An Interactive Guide to Healing and Overcoming Suicidal Thoughts and How to Help Others Survive, welcomes the incredible Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer—poet, teacher, speaker, writing facilitator, and poet laureate of Evermore. Her work has been featured on A Prairie Home Companion, PBS NewsHour, O Magazine, American Life in Poetry, The Washington Post’s Book Club, and even the stage of Carnegie Hall.

Her newest book, The Unfolding, is a powerful exploration of grief, resilience, and love. In this episode, Rosemerry shares the deeply personal journey of navigating life after the loss of her son, who completed suicide at 17. Through poetry, she found a way to meet grief, live with it, and continue loving through it. The Unfolding is a testament to the healing power of words and an intimate look at the process of working through immeasurable loss. Together, we discuss her experience, the lessons she’s learned about herself, and how writing became a lifeline.

Rosemerry also shares insights and practical tips on using poetry and creative expression as tools for healing.

3 big life lessons I learned the hard way, and, yeah, they might sting a bit to hear. The sooner you let go of them, the better your life will be!

Break ups are hard. Today on I Care About You I talk about an emotional break up I had and the steps I took to regain my self worth and move on. We talk about why breakups are so hard on our self-worth, what we can do about it, and how to do it.

Today, on I Care About You, we’re diving deep into something that quietly shapes our decisions, emotions, and even our relationships—lack mentality. This belief system tells us there’s never enough: not enough money, time, love, success, or opportunities. But the truth is, this mindset limits us far more than our actual circumstances do.

Welcome back to I Care About You, the podcast where we navigate life’s challenges with compassion, curiosity, and care. I am Juliana J, and Today, we’re talking about a specific kind of fear—not the fear of real danger, like a natural disaster, but the everyday fears that shape our choices, limit our potential and keep us in places we no longer want to be. If you are struggling with worry about judgment, not measuring up, or fear about starting something new or expanding your horizons, this podcast is for you!
