Listen "Power of Language"
Episode Synopsis
Quick gut check. If I recorded your self-talk today, would you want to replay it for someone you love?Or think of the last hard moment with your partner, child, or colleague. Which words did you reach for first?Because you can optimize routines all day, but if your language stays the same, your results snap back.The fastest lever to move your life is the words you use.Just a small shift in the words you use can change how you feel, how you relate, and how you see your life... In this week’s episode, Power of Language, I'll share a simple exercise to help you notice the hidden patterns in your self-talk and everyday conversations.You’ll see why language is one of the most accessible levers for healing, growth, and better relationships.Try this now (it takes 3 minutes):Free-write a few paragraphs without editing.Step away, then come back and scan for three patterns:Pronouns about me (I, me, mine) vs. words of connection (we, us).Black-and-white statements vs. nuanced, gray language.Phrases of no choice (“I have to…”, “I can’t…”) vs. personal power (“I choose…”, “I will…”). 3.
