Here are the compelling show notes for Episode 063 – “The Social Media Post I Was Too Scared to Post” of The Influence Every Day Show with Dr. Ed Tori. These are designed to stand alone—providing value even if someone never hits play.

What punctuation, perception, and perspective have to do with your past—and your power. 

A single sentence.

Six words.

No context.

woman - without - her - man - is - nothing

Which is it?

In today’s episode, Dr. Ed Tori explores how the placement of punctuation - in language and in life - radically alters meaning.

We punctuate our experiences all the time:

“That failure ended everything.”

“That failure… led to everything.”

Same events. Different punctuation. Entirely different life.

Punctuation isn’t grammar - it’s power. The same words, when punctuated differently, can inspire, insult, or transform.

Every email you read, every text you skim, every sentence you judge - reveals more about you than the sender. 

The meaning of your memories often hinges not on what happened, but where you pause, what you emphasize, and how you tell the story. 

Coaches, therapists, and wise friends don’t change your life. They change your punctuation. 

You can do the same for others - in one single conversation.

“How you punctuate your experiences will change your entire life.”

Re-read a text or email that upset you. What assumptions did you make? What if the sender emphasized something different?

Choose a past failure or difficult memory. Try re-punctuating it. Where else could the pause have been? What might it have led to?

Pay attention to the voice inside your head: What are you emphasizing? What are you minimizing?
