## Resource

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: saying sorry too much where 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 helpful why forgiveness isn't always the holy grail 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. Did you enjoy this episode? If so, I would really appreciate it if you could please leave a review on the platform that you listen.
