In this episode, I continue exploring one of my greatest passions - language and communication, and how the words we use shape our self-worth, our energy, and the way we show up in the world.

I talk about the subtle, everyday ways we diminish ourselves through language. The filler words. The apologetic phrases. The habitual “sorry.” The “does that make sense?” that quietly undermines our authority.

These words seem small, but they carry weight. They send messages to ourselves and to others about whether we believe we belong and whether we trust our own voice.

I explore how language isn’t just about words. Communication is largely non-verbal -f tone, body language, energetics. But the words themselves matter deeply. They are a doorway into our nervous system, our patterns, our inherited conditioning.

This is not to shame ourselves or policing our speech. It’s to inspire curiosity. It’s to start gently noticing. It’s to begin asking:

Where am I making myself smaller?
Where am I apologising for taking up space?
Is it safe for me to be fully me?

I reflect on how much of this is passed down generationally, especially for women. How our children are watching how we speak to ourselves. How we respond to mistakes. How we look in the mirror. And how we can choose differently.

This work, for me is liberation. Coming back to who we already are beneath the layers of protection. Creating safety in our nervous systems so that it feels increasingly safe to be our true selves.

Language is one powerful way to feel this.
