Episode Details
Back to EpisodesThings Women Should STOP Apologizing For
Description
In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign are calling on women everywhere to stop apologizing for existing.
Whether it's having boundaries, changing your mind, aging, taking up space, speaking confidently, choosing not to have children, or simply refusing to make yourself smaller to keep other people comfortable, they argue that women have spent far too long apologizing for things men rarely think twice about.
Together, they explore the social conditioning that teaches women to soften their opinions, minimize their needs, and constantly seek permission to exist authentically. They discuss why reclaiming your voice often begins by removing one simple word from your vocabulary: "sorry."
But first, in Tea Time, Lisa and Sovereign discuss the latest data showing women over 40 are now giving birth more often than teenagers for the first time, unpack influencer Jen Hamilton's heartbreaking divorce after discovering her husband's alleged double life, and react to a hilarious conversation between Keke Palmer and Sharon Stone about what rights men should actually have.
Later, they dive into a viral Reddit relationship dilemma after a husband devours an entire week's worth of his wife's specialized meal prep, gets sick, and leaves her wondering whether she's wrong for making him replace every last meal.
🎧 This episode explores why women apologize far more than they should, how that habit is reinforced by society, and why letting go of unnecessary guilt may be one of the most empowering things a woman can do.
