Whether that be politicians, abusers... anyone really.In this episode I speak about:saying sorry too muchwhere apologies may be due or even needed (and it's ok to say that!)where emotional intelligence, doing the work and owning our sh*t is helpfulwhy forgiveness isn't always the holy grailhandling criticism and tips to avoid/reduce defensivenessThemes: apologies, relationships, forgivenessI mention Harriet Lerner, Mark Groves, Terri Cole, my boyfriend Roly Starr.At the end, I read a poem written by me.Did you enjoy this episode?
