Episode Description

In today's episode, I'm talking about why apologies aren't weak - they're repair. I recently apologized to my middle daughter for a moment that happened nearly seven years ago.

It's something that I felt the need to circle back to, especially since we've been talking about the power of showing our kids that we're human.

Apologies aren't weak - taking the time to apologize shows that we care. It's never too late to say "I'm sorry," and it's never too late for our kids to see (and hear) this from us, too!

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why I chose to apologize to my daughter recently for something that happened years ago
  • How apologies help to rewrite the story & repair damage

Happy Body - A Wellness Podcast Zebediah Rice Ever wonder why a hug feels so good? Or a massage? Or hot baths? It is because these are the sorts of “words” our bodies understand. We can’t command a muscle to relax with a thought or a sentence. We have to speak the body’s language. We do this by combining love and attention with movement and touch. Music works too. This is the language our bodies understand.The Happy Body Podcast takes a different approach to tackling the challenge of physical pain and sickness by combining the wisdom of the ancient masters with modern science. It starts from the premise that sickness and physical pain are often manifestations of an inner imbalance. By connecting the lessons from modern neuroscience with the wisdom teachers of old, the Serena system may well help you on a path back to health. You will find techniques that draw on Feldenkrais, Alexander technique, contemporary physical therapy, nutrition science, and of course the latest medical research from the best doctors and medic What is New Legal Realism? What is New Legal Realism? Why is law so slow to get what's really happening? Why is it often so far away from our real-world experiences? The New Legal Realism movement springs from this frustration. The social sciences study how law really works, using systematic methods. But lawyers and policymakers don't often use that social science knowledge. Law students are never taught about the full range of social science that they could draw on to solve legal problems. At best, our lawyers and judges grab at bits and pieces -- some statistics here, interviews there, observations, experiments -- all jumbled up and often just plain wrong. Social scientists may be baffled about what lawyers need from them -- or how law approaches the world. And THAT'S why we need New Legal Realism, or "NLR." NLR doesn't choose one method or one kind of social science. It doesn't ignore the standards social sciences use to judge good research. But it also doesn't ignore how law works, or how lawyers talk.
