Building Resilience

Builder or Wrecker: The Power of Words and Nervous System Cues


Listen Later

Have you ever walked away from a conversation thinking, “That’s not how I meant it to come out…” or felt the sting of someone else’s words lingering long after? The truth is, our words have weight—and they either build or break. But it’s not just what we say; it’s how we say it, and even more, how we’re showing up in our nervous system when we do.


In this episode of the Building Resilience Podcast, we explore the invisible but powerful role your nervous system plays in communication. Are you speaking from safety—or from survival? Are your words landing as support or as a threat?


Join me as we unpack:

• What it means to be a builder or a wrecker in everyday interactions

• How nervous system cues influence how your words are received

• Real-life strategies to communicate with more compassion, clarity, and regulation

• Why co-regulation matters—and what isn’t your responsibility

• And six practical tools you can start using today to build better connections
