S2 #07 Apologies, Accountability (and Why Forgiveness is Not a Must)

Today's solo episode is a topic close to my heart. Wouldn't life be a little bit easier if many people were better at listening and true, genuine apologies?! — I think so. Whether that be politicians, abusers... anyone really.

In this episode I speak about:

1. saying sorry too much
2. where apologies may be due or even needed (and it's ok to say that!)
3. where emotional intelligence, doing the work and owning our sh*t is helpful
4. why forgiveness isn't always the holy grail
5. handling criticism and tips to avoid/reduce defensiveness

Themes: apologies, relationships, forgiveness

I mention Harriet Lerner, Mark Groves, Terri Cole, my boyfriend Roly Starr.

At the end, I read a poem written by me.
