Surprise! It’s the first-ever Point of the Story minisode! That means a quick episode packed with value — and zero fluff. (Except for the part where I lovingly call you out, of course. And an occasional tangent because if not, would it even be my podcast?)

In this gem of a tiny episode, we're talking about four common phrases that are quietly sabotaging your confidence. These sneaky little fillers make you sound less credible, less powerful, and frankly, less like the badass business owner you are. So, I’m here to help you ditch them. (And yes, “if that makes sense” is on the list — sorry, but not sorry.)

POINT OF THE STORY

The words you use influence how others perceive you. When you cut out these weak phrases, you instantly sound more confident, capable, and self-assured. And isn’t that exactly what we want?

I hope you loved this minisode! I’ll be dropping more short and snappy episodes like this at random, so stay tuned. And in the meantime — don’t you dare apologize for a damn thing you didn’t do.

Love you, if that makes sense. Bye! 🖤
