If “I’m sorry” is practically your default response, this episode is for you. Women have been conditioned to shrink themselves—to soften their words, cushion their presence, and apologize for simply existing. But every unnecessary “I’m sorry” chips away at your confidence and reinforces the belief that you should be the one adjusting.
In today’s episode, we’re diving into:
🔥 Why over-apologizing is more than just politeness—it’s conditioning
🔥 A Costco moment that made me really see how often women do this
🔥 How apologizing too much impacts your confidence, career, and relationships
🔥 The simple language shifts that help you stop saying “I’m sorry” (when you don’t need to)
If you’ve ever caught yourself apologizing for no reason, this is your wake-up call.
What You’ll Learn✅ Why women over-apologize (and how to break the habit)
✅ The sneaky ways we shrink ourselves without realizing it
✅ Easy swaps to replace “I’m sorry” with confidence and clarity
✅ A simple challenge to help you retrain your brain
1️⃣ Notice when you say it – Just pay attention. No need to change it yet.
2️⃣ Ask yourself if it’s necessary – Are you actually in the wrong, or just filling space?
3️⃣ Swap it out – Try:
🔹 “Sorry I’m late” ➡️ “Thanks for waiting.”
🔹 “Sorry to bother you” ➡️ “Do you have a moment?”
🔹 “Sorry for the mistake” ➡️ “I appreciate your patience.”
📌 For one day, track how often you say “I’m sorry.”
📌 Swap it out when it’s unnecessary.
📌 Notice how it changes the way you feel.
Because you were never too much—you were just taught to believe you were.
