Help Me, I’m Tired of Apologizing

Are you constantly saying “sorry”—even when you haven’t done anything wrong?

Do you apologize for needing time, asking questions, or simply taking up space?

In this episode, licensed therapist Kanu Jacobsen gently unpacks the hidden emotional weight of chronic apologizing. With warmth, cultural wisdom, and clinical insight, she explores why so many of us—especially women—feel the need to cushion our presence with constant disclaimers.

Whether your habit of over-apologizing comes from people-pleasing, childhood conditioning, cultural norms, or trauma responses like fawning, this conversation offers both clarity and compassion. You’ll learn where the behavior comes from, what it’s costing you, and how to begin shifting toward confident, unapologetic communication—without losing your empathy.

This is not about blame. It’s about reclaiming your voice.
