In this episode, I dive into why the words you use matter more than you think—and how they're either charging you up or keeping you stuck exactly where you are. I break down the difference between words that create momentum and words that keep you playing small, plus what to do when you catch yourself using the wrong ones.

Key Takeaways

Your Words Hold a Charge

Think of your words like flashlights vs. floodlights—some barely light the way, others beam straight into the sky

The charge you give your words determines whether you move forward or stay stuck

If you're not feeling energized by what you're saying, stop talking about it

Choose words that set the tone for how you want to show up

Action Steps

Tune in and become aware of the words you're using

Ask yourself: Are these words charging me up or draining me?

If they're not energizing you, change them or stop talking about it

Choose an intention word for your day (like "curiosity")

Keep experimenting until you find what lights you up
