Do you Keep Saying I'm Sorry? Apologizing might be Holding You Back (And How to Stop!)

In this episode of Powered by Joy Podcast we discuss finding yourself saying "I'm sorry" far too often, even when it's not necessary? It’s something many of us do—whether we bump into someone at the store or decline an invitation, we often default to apologizing and offering justification or explanation. But have you ever wondered why this habit is so ingrained and how it impacts us? We will delve into the origins of this behavior, exploring why we feel compelled to apologize for things that don’t require an apology and how it can be disempowering.

We’ll discuss how the words we choose, like "sorry," can affect our self-perception and the energy we bring into our lives. Words are so powerful—they can uplift or diminish us. Today, we'll explore how to reclaim our power by small steps, shifting the way we communicate, especially in situations where over-apologizing has become a habit. We’ll review practical strategies to stop this automatic response and start to use language that honors both ourselves and others. By making small changes in how we express ourselves, we can foster more joy, confidence, and authenticity in our daily lives. If you’re ready to stop over-apologizing and start living with more intention, you’re in the right place.
