À propos de ce contenu audio
This week, I’m in Florida helping a friend recover from surgery… and something small kept happening that I couldn’t ignore.
She kept saying “sorry.”
Not in a big way, just casually, automatically.
“Sorry, can you grab that?”
“Sorry, I feel like I keep asking you for things.”
And it made me realize…
I do the exact same thing.
In this episode, we’re talking about why so many of us, especially women, apologize for things that were never actually wrong.
Why needing help can feel uncomfortable.
Why we feel like a burden, even when we’re not.
And what’s actually happening in your brain when you say “I’m sorry” out of habit.
We’ll get into:
• The psychology behind over-apologizing
• How your brain is wired to detect “problems” that aren’t really there
• The cultural pressure to be low-maintenance and independent
• Why receiving support feels harder than giving it
• And how to start shifting this pattern in real time
You’ll also walk away with a simple strategy you can use this week to interrupt the habit and start seeing yourself, and your needs, differently.
Because the truth is…
You’re not a burden.
You’re just not used to being supported.
