Are you always saying you’re sorry for no REAL reason?
If yes, stop that right now!
This is part of the cultural programming that has taught women it’s their fault.
First, is there anything you need to be apologizing for?
Second, dig deep here … do you really mean it or are those words just filling space?
Third, what would be a more effective course of action for the given situation?
My hunch is not saying “I’m sorry.”
Stop always apologizing.
Instead become who you were meant to be.
And don’t apologize for who you are.
Yes, others may not like you fully showing up.
Others may not like your opinion.
My friend, they are not your people.
If you have to apologize to keep these relationships … is it worth it?
Here’s the thing … your people will be grateful when you fully show up.
You will inspire them to be more of themselves.
You will be an example of what is possible.
You will help change the cultural programming that it’s the fault of the woman.
Of course, you still own your mistakes.
I’m not talking about never apologizing and pretending something didn’t happen.
I’m talking about your knee jerk reaction to things where you say “I’m sorry” automatically.
Stop that.
Use that energy to become who you are meant to be.
Never apologize for being you.
You have so much more to offer than “I’m sorry.”
Your people want to know you, not some apologetic version of you.
Show up.
Own your full messy self.
Make mistakes + own them.
Let your brilliance shine.
Share your opinions.
Share your stories.
Share a part of you.
You are becoming who you are meant to be.
My friend, the world needs who you are meant to be.
smiling,
P.S. Need help with making this change? I’ve got just the thing for you…
