Episode Synopsis

my big breakthrough-- When Saying Sorry Feels Like a Death—You’re Probably Healing! In this deeply personal episode, I open up about my struggle with apologizing, what I’ve learned and how apology is more than guilt—it’s acknowledgment, healing, and connection.This is for the empaths, the gentle parents, the cycle breakers—the ones working through ancestral patterns and learning to lead with heart. I also reflect on recent headlines, including the Bryan Kohberger sentencing in the Idaho student murders and the emotional weight of victim impact statements.Whether you’re navigating marriage, motherhood, or your own emotional growth, this episode is a reminder: Sorry is a full sentence. 💛🪞Timestamps, resources, and carousel below! ❀ 𝑺𝑶𝑪𝑰𝑨𝑳𝑺 ⁠Instagram⁠______________________________________________________0:00 – Sorry is a full sentence1:06 – Getting called out by my husband and mom2:55 – Why I struggle with apologizing4:58 – What my husband taught me about guilt 6:30 – How society fumbles apologies7:58 – Public example: Hill Country flood response9:16 – Teenagers as mirrors for emotional accountability10:00 – Bryan Kohberger sentencing & refusal to apologize11:45 – The power and purpose of victim impact statements13:32 – Casual apologies in professional life 15:12 – Learning to say sorry without justifying16:18 – Who needs your apology? 16:52 – Final takeaway🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share this if it resonated.________________________________________________Users of this Podcast may save and use information contained in the Podcast only for personal or other non-commercial, educational purposes.
