Stop Saying Sorry All The Time!

Allison Carmen
About this episode

Some of us say we’re sorry all the time, but we don’t need to be! We apologize to get people to like us, to avoid conflict, or because we’re afraid to speak our mind.  But when we say we’re sorry and don’t need to be, we are not valuing our true selves.  If you did something wrong and you want to apologize, great—apologize! But if you are apologizing when you haven’t done anything wrong, you often step away from your true power and your ability to blossom. Please listen to this podcast to stop apologizing for being you, and keep sharing all of your wonderful gifts with the world!
