Overapologizing (0:00:00) Do you say "I'm sorry" after any minor inconvenience you make for someone? Or do you apologize whenever someone inconveniences you? If the answer is yes... and if it would take a CDC-unapproved number of hands (for those of you who don’t know, that would be more than 10) to count how many times you say “I’m sorry” during the day, you may be guilty of “over apologizing”. We’re not saying that apologizing is a bad thing –but it’s important to recognize when your apology is being said out of habit and when it’s necessary for resolving a real offense. Today we are joined by Donna Moriarty, author of “Not Just Words: How a Good Apology Makes You Braver, Bolder, and Better at Life,” to talk about how to stop over apologizing.

You may have heard your kid say “Ok, Boomer” on more than one occasion. This phrase was coined by younger generations to mock or dismiss the "“outdated” or “close-minded” opinions of older people born in the post-World War Two baby boom. This obviously angers Baby Boomers who often retort that younger generations are entitled and lazy. So, we’ve invited Amy Lynch, generational speaker, researcher, author, and Baby Boomer herself to help us understand her generation.

Well we want to help you create a space that will make you feel comfortable, relaxed, and organized during quarantine. So, we invited friend of the show and interior designer, Carrie A
