So we have to apologize...we are so sorry...
JUST KIDDING!
Join the Squirrels today as they talk through over-apologizing, when it's appropriate to say you are sorry, and what the Bible has to say about apologizing.
Do you struggle with saying "sorry" when it isn't necessary? Or are you on the opposite end of the spectrum and find it difficult to apologize when you are wrong? Should we force our kids to apologize to teach them how to apologize correctly or does 'making them' apologize lessen the value of the apology?
This episode provides insight into the ramifications of over-apologizing and not apologizing when it may be necessary.
Taking references from the book 'The Power of Apology' by Beverly Engel, April and Carly have fun with a back and forth conversation about the psychology behind over-apologizing and the true intentions behind apologizing.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
