When my daughter was little, she watched a cartoon called Wonder Pets. In the Christmas episode, Ming-Ming breaks Tuck’s snow globe and says she’s sorry — but Tuck’s response stuck with me: “Sorry won’t fix it.”

That line hit deeper than I expected. Because while I believe in heartfelt apologies, sometimes sorry just doesn’t fix it. Words can soothe, but they can’t always repair what’s been broken.

In this episode, I’m unpacking what real accountability looks like, why “sorry” isn’t always enough, and how we can accept apologies without pretending things are fine. Sometimes the healing isn’t in the words — it’s in the actions that follow.
