Whether you're happily partnered, struggling to connect, or somewhere in the messy middle—pull up a chair. Let's figure this out together. Love Inside Out is for anyone who's ever felt like they're performing in their relationship instead of living in it. For people who wonder if compromise has turned into playing small. For those asking: Why was this easier in my twenties? I'm Adele—coach, and curious human. Thank you for joining me in this journey!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-08T10:22:34.420887+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/love-inside-out-with-adele-testa-7707936"},"episode":{"title":"25.

If you've ever said \"sorry\" just to make the discomfort stop… if you've ever been handed an apology that left you feeling more unseen, not less… if you're quietly waiting for an \"I'm sorry\" that never seems to arrive — this one is for you. Most of us were never taught how to apologise. Very few of us ever received a real apology from a parent while we were still children. So we grew up improvising — reaching for the word \"sorry\" like a button that ends the argument, instead of a bridge that repairs it. In this episode of Love Inside Out, Adele the Coach reframes apology from a confession of being bad into what it actually is: an adult life skill. Being aware of your mistake, and steady enough to repair it — without spinning, negotiating, or softening it to protect yourself. The people who are genuinely good at love are the ones who can do this cleanly. And it's learnable. This is the last full-length episode before the summer break — and it's the one everything this season has been quietly building towards.
