Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Fingers crossed podcast, the podcast where we cross our fingers

fingers and talk about important things. Great intro, Christy. Very good. Very good. Love that one. Today for you, we have a very

interesting topic to discuss. I actually think this will be, I feel like I start every episode

like this because I genuinely get so excited to talk about the things that we do on this podcast.

But I think it'll be interesting to hear some different perspectives on this, or maybe some

similar ones, about how to stop over apologizing and saying sorry for things that you're not

actually sorry for and just having a habit of excusing everything you do without need for it.

There's a lot more that goes on with it than at first

meets the eye, like all the way down to like child psychology and then, you know, workplace

environments and role models. There's so much that has to do with it. So we're real, like

Christy said, we're super kind of talk about it today. You might remember that we did an episode

last fall, I think, that was about how to confront people and apologize when

you did something wrong. And that's kind of what sparked this episode is that we got some people

writing in talking about a different perspective on, you know, they had the problem where they

were apologizing when they didn't need to. They realized. And that's when we realized this is a whole

topic to tap into

that a lot of people struggle with and a lot of people, you know, sometimes find themselves

unconsciously doing this where they have a habit of just saying sorry, you know, offhandedly for

things that aren't actually problems and kind of like undermining their own messages and stuff,

especially women. So that's why we

wanted to do a whole topic about this because I feel like especially our demographic of this podcast,

young women, you know, trying to make it and make a name for themselves in their careers and things.
