Welcome to About Progress. I am your host Monica Packer and I am here to teach you how to take back your life and dared to progress

towards bettering yourself, honing your gifts, and using them for good in the

world. Listen in to be inspired by others who are walking the same path of self-improvement paired with self-love,

and to be a part of a community that knows life is about progress, not perfection.

I want you to think about how often you say the words, I'm sorry. I am betting it is way more often than you think that you actually say those words.

It is kind of a go-to phrase for people these days, even if it's not your fault.

If someone runs into the grocery store, you might turn around and say,

I'm sorry when really that's, it wasn't your fault, or when someone gives you a compliment,

you find yourself apologizing for how it just wasn't quite good enough.

I know I am guilty of that when it comes to cooking, but that's because I always have really

high hopes about what I've created and it always lets me down just a little bit, but we're talking

about so much more than just that.

Now in all of our lives we do have those times where we truly do need to be sorry and

take accountability and apologize. But in most cases we as women tend to

apologize too much too often too needlessly and my guest

today is going to share with you how to know the difference when do you really

need to apologize and if you don't, how to stop doing that, and it's going

to go a lot deeper than just stopping the words. I'm sorry. My guest today is Jody Moore. the I am sure you have heard of her. I was so thrilled when she agreed to be on this show.

I'm going to have Jody introduce herself a little bit more but just know in my

show notes I have linked to everything Jody for you and you can find those on my website about progress.com.

Without further ado let's hear my conversation with Jody about how to stop apologizing.

Thank you so much for being here, Doty.
