This is a really thoughtful piece about the habit of over-apologizing, particularly among women, and how it can undermine confidence. I appreciate the personal anecdote and the practical alternatives to "I'm sorry." I'm curious, beyond the specific phrases, what are some effective strategies for helping someone, especially a young woman, recognize when an apology is truly necessary versus when it might be diminishing their message or presence? How do you teach that nuance?
