57. Why Apologizing Feels So Hard & How to Break the Shame Cycle | Coaching Call with Gigi

Speak Honest Podcast: Real Talk on Relationships, Attachment Styles & the Work of Healing Childhood Trauma

Do you struggle to say “I’m sorry” without feeling like you’re admitting defeat? Have you ever avoided apologizing—even when you knew you should—because it felt too vulnerable? In today’s coaching call, Gigi opens up about her challenges with emotional regulation, self-blame, and the fear of being truly seen. Together, we unpack the deep-rooted shame that makes vulnerability feel so uncomfortable and explore how to shift from self-judgment to self-compassion.
