We discover how differently we receive and process apologies through a quiz that reveals our "apology languages" – similar to love languages but focused on how we prefer people to express remorse.

• Exploring the five apology languages: accepting responsibility, making restitution, expressing regret, genuinely repenting, and requesting forgiveness
• Realizing that most of us need more than just "I'm sorry" – accountability and action matter most
• Discovering that PJ and Chris value direct admission of fault as their primary apology language
• Learning that Blair needs concrete actions to make things right after someone apologizes
• Finding connections between how we receive love and how we receive apologies
• Noticing how certain apology phrases can feel passive-aggressive or put unfair burdens on the hurt person
• Discussing how repeated apologies without change become meaningless
• Celebrating Jane Kennedy, one of the first Black women sportscasters, for Women's History Month

Take some time to discover your own apology language by taking the quiz on the Five Love Languages website – understanding how you and your loved ones prefer to receive apologies can transform your relationships.
