The Tension of Emergence: Thriving in a world that remakes, not breaks

Mispronunciation with Jennifer England (A Practice)


Listen Later

Ever feel awkward in trying to express, connect or attune to another? Ever interpret your awkwardness as a failure? 

In this short practice episode, Jennifer England invites us to explore mispronunciation not just as a linguistic slip, but as a relational metaphor. Inspired by recent conversations with X'unei Lance Twitchell, you’re invited to notice the moments you "miss the mark" in connection—and to consider what might be fertile, even beautiful, in the in-between.

You’ll be guided through:

  • A reframing of mispronunciation as an opening, not an error.
  • Gentle prompts to explore awkwardness, misunderstanding, and self-expression.
  • A two-part inquiry to help you stay present with the discomfort of “not quite getting it right.”
  • An embodied invitation to soften and stay—instead of fix or retreat.

Whether you're navigating a tough moment with a loved one or reflecting on your own self-expression, this episode is a chance to pause and relate differently to misunderstanding itself.
