Are you saying sorry out of habit or because it’s actually needed? In this episode, we talk about one of the sneakiest people pleasing patterns out there—reflexively apologizing for things that don’t require repair. I share how I became aware of my “habit sorry” tendencies, how it impacted my confidence and communication, and what happened when I stopped apologizing for things like taking up space, having boundaries, or simply being human. We also talk about the messages we send our kids (and ourselves) when we over-apologize, and how shifting to intentional language can change how we show up at work, home, and in relationships.

 

Highlights

• Why apologizing TOO MUCH weakens your words.

• Examples of “habit sorry” in everyday life.

• The difference between true repair vs. avoiding discomfort.

• What to say instead of “sorry” (without sounding rude).

• How your apology habits may be shaping your child’s behavior too.

• Why being mindful of your language strengthens your confidence.
