Episode notes

How many times today have you said the word "sorry"? For many of us, it’s a reflexive response—a social lubricant used to smooth over moments that don't actually require an apology. Whether we’re bumping into someone at the store, asking a valid question in a meeting, or simply having a home that’s not “guest ready,” we’ve been conditioned to apologize for our very existence.

In this episode of Unscripted with Nompumelelo, we’re striking things from our apology list. From saying "no" without a paragraph of justification to reclaiming our boundaries and our space in both our personal and professional lives, it’s time to stop asking permission to exist.
