Why do so many strong, capable women still feel the need to say “sorry” all the time?

In this episode, we unpack the everyday habit of over-apologizing—and how it's quietly chipping away at your confidence and credibility. From real-life “say this, not that” swaps to powerful mindset shifts, we’re diving into the language that holds us back and how to reframe it to show up as the leader you already are. This conversation is both a call-in and a call-out—to speak clearly, stand tall, and stop shrinking ourselves to make others comfortable.Takeaways:– Over-apologizing weakens your message and presence.– Women often say "sorry" to seem polite, but it can come off as insecure.– Leadership starts with confident, clear communication.– Assertiveness and kindness are not opposites—you can do both.– “Taking up space” is a leadership skill, not something to be ashamed of.– Say what you mean, and stop over-explaining your worth.– Accountability doesn’t require constant apology—it requires honesty.– Replacing apology language with empowered phrasing builds trust.– The words you choose shape how you're perceived.– Let’s support each other in ditching the default “sorry” and speaking with strength.
