Minisode: What If The Words You Use Every Day Are Keeping You Stuck
07 Oct 2025
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 TakeawaysYour Words Hold a ChargeThink of your words like flashlights vs. floodlights—some barely light the way, others beam straight into the skyThe charge you give your words determines whether you move forward or stay stuckIf you're not feeling energized by what you're saying, stop talking about itChoose words that set the tone for how you want to show upAction StepsTune in and become aware of the words you're usingAsk yourself: Are these words charging me up or draining me?If they're not energizing you, change them or stop talking about itChoose an intention word for your day (like "curiosity")Keep experimenting until you find what lights you upResources MentionedPrevious lighthouse episode (referenced in this episode)This is the first step to making incredible change—and you can feel it just in your words.Let's Keep This GoingIf this episode hit home for you, I'd love to hear about it.
