i'm sorry. | ep.14

Ro Mitchell and Jaycie Fry
About this episode

In this episode, we dive into the thought process behind chronic over-apologising and why so many of us reflexively say "sorry" for things that don't warrant an apology at all.

We'll explore how this habit often stems from people-pleasing tendencies, and internalised feelings of taking up too much space in the world. Ro and Jaycie unpack the difference between genuine apologies and the automatic "sorry" that infiltrates our daily conversations.

Maybe you don't need to apologise for your existence...
