Do you need to apologize? Do you need to make others comfortable with your choice?We talk about the social pressure to fit in, the habit of saying “sorry” when we have nothing to apologize for, and the quiet confidence that grows when we simply own the decision.Bridgene also shares a recent work-event experience that perfectly captures the truth so many of us need to hear: most people don’t care nearly as much as we fear they will.This conversation became so strong that we split it into two focused episodes.
