Apologies vs. Amends: What Real Accountability Looks Like Part 2

In this episode, Josh returns to share more hard-won wisdom on co-parenting and rebuilding trust after divorce. We explore the crucial difference between saying sorry and making amends—how true accountability isn’t just about words, but about actions that repair harm. Josh reflects on how focusing inward, taking ownership, and practicing mutual respect can lay the groundwork for healthier relationships moving forward. If you’ve ever wondered whether an apology is enough, this conversation breaks down what real change actually looks like.
