We live in a culture of over-apologizers. But sometimes you screw up – majorly. Maybe it's a missed deadline. Maybe you forget about important plans. Maybe you sleep through your alarm clock or lose a pair of borrowed earrings or think it's Sunday when it's actually Monday. Or maybe it's worse. Whatever the case, you're deeply sorry – yet don't know how to accurately portray how sincere you really are without coming across as flippant, disingenuous, or just another sorry-monster. Here's what I've learned when it comes to how to say sorry, for those of us who get hit the deepest by our own mistakes and want to make our apologies last longer than just five little letters.

Featured on over 40 magazine covers and countless media outlets, Seane has chosen to use her platform to bring awareness to global issues including social justice, sex trafficking, HIV/AIDS awareness, generational poverty, and animal rights.

On this solo episode of the WANTcast, we dive into the concept of "Emotional DNA," navigating the moments in life that aren't quite good but aren't quite bad (the grey area we talk about so often here on the WANTcast), and, most notably, managing transitional moments when you literally cannot imagine what's next. ~~~~~~ SHOW NOTES: Website Instagram Judy Wilkens-Smith ~~~~ THIS EPISODE IS IN SUPPORT OF: Too Damn Young Instagram toodamnyoung.com ~~~~~ Leave a review on iTunes Subscribe to The (Good) Word, delivered to your inbox on or around the 1st and 15th of each month

Without Summer vacations and required reading, it can be hard as an adult to draw the line between where Summer ends and Fall begins. Because although we'd love to have an endless summer…and although the first day of Autumn isn't technically until September 23rd…we can all feel a shift happen the moment Labor Day weekend comes to a close. It's "back to the grind" – even though most of us have been grinding all year long. This timely Season Premiere of the WANTcast is here to help you make the most of this time, right here and now. Because while January usually gets all the attention when it comes to resolutions, I'd like to argue that September holds just as much promise as the 01/01 mark. ~~~~~ THIS EPISODE IS IN SUPPORT OF: Too Damn Young Instagram toodamnyoung.com ~~~~~ Leave a review on iTunes Subscribe to The (Good) Word, delivered to your inbox on or around the 1st and 15th of each month

In today's SEASON FINALE, two listeners ask about finding confidence and self-love again, and finding positive communities when all people want to do is bond over negativity. There's a common theme in the answers to both of these - and it has to do with how you become the first-best version of yourself instead of the second-best version of someone else. ~~~~~~~~~ **This is the SEASON FINALE of Season 4! Thank you so much for helping the WANTcast grow and evolve over the last almost-four years. We'll be taking a break over the summer and coming back stronger than ever in August with Season Five.** ~~~~~~~~~ SHOW NOTES: • Sign up for The (Good) Word, our monthly email digest • Check out She's The First, this season's spotlight • Let's be friends on Instagram! ~~~~~~~~~ Like this episode?

What happens when you feel a "calling" to change things up...but everything is going just fine? What if you're doubting a choice is the right one to make...but you don't have proof as to why? In today's episode of the WANTcast, a listener asks if she should follow her gut and change everything, even though life is great. I share some insight into my move to NYC after a lifetime in Los Angeles, plus a few big, get-honest-with-yourself questions to ask yourself when facing major change of ANY kind. ~~~~~~~~~ SHOW NOTES: • Sign up for The (Good) Word, our monthly email digest • Check out She's The First, this season's spotlight • Let's be friends on Instagram! ~~~~~~~~~ Like this episode?
