Words are powerful—and for women, they’ve long been used to control, silence, and undermine.

In this episode of The Hint Hive: Amplifying Women’s Voices, licensed psychotherapist and feminist life coach Kelly Hint explores how everyday language reinforces misogyny, fuels internalized sexism, and shapes how women are perceived—and how we see ourselves.

From being labeled bossy, emotional, crazy, or intimidating, to the subtle ways women self-police their own voices, this episode breaks down the psychology of language, implicit bias, and the historical roots of misogynistic words still used today. Kelly explains how sexist language impacts women’s confidence, leadership, mental health, and relationships—and why changing our words is a powerful act of resistance.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

* How language shapes gender bias and misogyny

* The psychological and historical roots of sexist words

* Why women’s anger and assertiveness are routinely dismissed

* How internalized misogyny shows up in self-talk

* Practical, actionable steps to retire harmful language and reclaim your voice

Plus, the Affirmation of the Week challenges women to stop shrinking and start owning their power.

If you’re tired of being told you’re too much, this episode will help you dismantle the narrative—and speak with confidence, clarity, and unapologetic power.

🔥 Listen now and start using language that reflects who you truly are. 🐝
