In this episode, we dive into the classic debate — Is it better to ask for permission or forgiveness? 🧐 Whether in relationships, business, friendships, or personal growth, this mindset says a lot about how we navigate boundaries, risk, and accountability. Are you the “play it safe” type or the “do it now, apologize later” kind of person?

Join us as we unpack the emotional, cultural, and practical sides of this mentality — when bold moves pay off, when they backfire, and how gender, upbringing, and workplace dynamics shape our choices. This episode is all about confidence, consequences, and control — and learning when to take the leap 💥
