The Apology Epidemic
Sorry, not sorry! Wait, no—actually sorry for saying sorry.
Or wait... In this episode, our hosts tackle the "apology epidemic" that's got more people saying "I'm sorry" than a Canadian tourist convention.
They explore why humans (especially the fabulous female variety) have turned apologizing into an Olympic sport, and spoiler alert: it's not doing anyone any favors.
Key Topics:
- The origins of over-apologizing: because apparently someone decided "existing confidently" wasn't ladylike enough
- The difference between "Oops, I genuinely messed up" apologies and "Sorry I breathe oxygen" apologies
- How saying sorry 47 times a day turns you into a human doormat (results may vary, side effects include becoming invisible)
- Breaking news: You're allowed to take up space! Revolutionary concept, we know - Why we apologize for having feelings (as if emotions were a personal failing rather than, you know, being human)
- When you actually DO need to apologize (hint: it's fewer times than you think, but more meaningful than "sorry for existing")
- Brilliant alternatives to "I'm sorry"—like "thank you for your patience" (mind = blown) Personal war stories about learning to stop apologizing for everything short of global warming
- The epic showdown: genuine kindness vs. performative "niceness"
- Delightful tangents about Trader Joe's (because life coaches shop too), TikTok rabbit holes, and waxing nostalgic about the days when news came on paper and music lived in plastic rectangles
