What does a real apology sound like—and why is it so damn hard to get one? In this episode of Relationship Dish, Pam and Iona dive into the delicate art of apologizing. After Iona arrives very late to the recording, she offers a genuine, no-excuses apology—and it sparks a deeper conversation about how we repair emotional ruptures in relationships.

They explore the difference between heartfelt accountability and hollow placation, why calling someone “too sensitive” doesn’t count, and how many of us (even the most polite Canadians!) are still learning to feel our feelings—and express them constructively.

From the anatomy of a good apology to the role of anger in intimacy, this episode is packed with insights on how to show up with vulnerability, stay out of shame, and create stronger, more resilient connections—one repair at a time.
