The sorry reflex isn't politeness — it's a nervous system trained to shrink before anyone asks it to. Today we name it, trace it, and start to loosen its grip.

In this episode:

→  Why the apology reflex is a conditioned response, not a personality trait

→  Brené Brown on the shame message most women have been living from

→  What performing smallness actually costs you — and it's cumulative

→  The one-second practice that begins to change everything
