Summary

In this episode of The Anxiety Chicks, Alison and Taylor unpack the habit of over-apologizing—where it comes from, why it’s often tied to anxiety and trauma responses like fawning, and how cultural and gender norms especially condition women to shrink themselves. They share personal insights and practical tools to help you set boundaries, heal your inner child, and start replacing unnecessary “sorrys” with confident, empowered language. If you’ve ever apologized just for having feelings or taking up space, this one’s for you. 🎧 Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction and Apologies 01:47 – Why We Over-Apologize 04:33 – Anxiety, Trauma & the Fawn Response 07:49 – Cultural & Gender Norms 10:26 – How Over-Apologizing Hurts Confidence 14:39 – Replacing 'Sorry' with Empowered Language 19:05 – Inner Child Healing 21:58 – Boundary-Setting is Not Mean 26:49 – People-Pleasing & Apologies 28:43 – Final Thoughts & Healing Tips Don’t forget to rate and review The Chicks! 🌐 Connect With Us ⁠@theanxietychicks⁠ | ⁠@theanxietyhealer⁠ | ⁠@health_anxiety⁠ ✨ Taylor’s #1 Anxiety Healing Supplement, Free Resources & More: ⁠peakofpanic.com/collections/all⁠ Order The Anxiety Healers Guide & Workbook Here: https://theanxietyhealer.com/books  🧰 Alison's Free Resources, Coaching & Healing Toolkit: ⁠www.theanxietyhealer.com⁠ 🎥 Watch Full Episodes on YouTube Subscribe for more anxiety healing content, interviews, and behind-the-scenes insight. www.youtube.com/@anxietychicks Learn more about your ad choices.
