Welcome back to the "You Are More" podcast! I can’t wait to dive into today’s episode because it’s all about something that has completely transformed my life—the incredible power of our words. I believe deeply that what we speak over ourselves has the ability to either build us up or hold us back. 

So, I want to ask you—have you ever thought about how your words are shaping your reality?

Today, we’re going to get personal as I share how intentionally choosing my words has helped me break through tough seasons, rise above negativity, and create a life that I’m genuinely grateful for. Words are powerful tools, and when we use them with purpose, they can move mountains in our lives. Whether you’re dealing with financial struggles, relationship challenges, or just feeling like life isn’t quite where you want it to be, this episode will show you how to start speaking your way into the life you’re meant to live.

In this episode, I’ll be sharing stories, insights, and practical steps, including:

• Why saying “I love my life” can surface hidden challenges—and why that’s actually a great thing that helps you grow.
• The influence of “I am” statements and how these words, when used with intention, can shift your reality in profound ways.
• How gratitude can transform your outlook, even in the hardest seasons, and how speaking life over every situation can set the tone for success.
• Steps to break free from limiting beliefs and negativity, so you’re no longer agreeing with thoughts of lack or limitation.
• Practical ways to turn gratitude and positive declarations into daily habits that will help you build a life of abundance, joy, and purpose.

So, if you’ve been struggling lately—whether it’s financially, relationally, or just feeling a bit lost—this episode is for you. I want to encourage you to hit play, dive in, and see how changing the way you speak can truly change the way you live. It’s time to harness the power of our words and start creating the life we want.
