So, I’m making a thing…
The “Apologies Podcast” is an experiment in collective healing. It’s an acknowledgement that we all have moments when we fail to show up as our highest selves. And, it’s a way for us to transform shame into connection.
I invite you to listen in as I talk with guests from all walks of life about who and how they are before inviting them to share their apology. The only rule is it has to be an apology for someone they are no longer in contact with. My dream is that, through the power of media, at least some of these apologies actually reach their intended recipients.
This is something I’ve been kicking around for years and I’m excited (and maybe a little bit terrified) to actually make it happen. Listen to the trailer and learn more about the podcast here.
Stay tuned for the first episode!
