How many times did you say “I’m sorry” today? If you’re like most people, it was probably more than a few, and not always for things you were actually responsible for. Over-apologizing is a habit rooted in people-pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, and even trauma.

In this solo episode, Julie dives into:

  • Why so many of us over-apologize (and where the habit comes from)
  • The hidden costs of saying sorry too often at home and at work
  • The link between trauma, anxiety, and “fawning” behaviors
  • Four practical steps to break the cycle of unnecessary apologies
  • Real-life examples to help you practice rephrasing “sorry” into strength

Whether you’re someone who says “sorry” for taking up space or you want to build healthier, more confident communication habits, this episode will give you the tools to start showing up unapologetically.
