It's amazing what comes out of your own mouth, and at times, how much of what you say seems designed to "make yourself small" - to minimize yourself and what you're saying. In today's episode, I am joined by my dear friend and long-time coworker Emily Hastings, and we're revisiting the topic of over-apologizing with some additional tips and insights, plus exploring how apologizing, like several other speech habits, doesn't serve you. In fact, it can serve to minimize you and devalue what you have to say in the minds of those you are speaking to.

Please forgive any audio issues, we tried out a new program for remote podcasting. It will get better! Also, I used a swear word. #sorrynotsorry.
