The stories we tell ourselves shape the lives we live.

In this episode of The Word Effect, I have the privilege of sitting down with my friend Todd Sylvester—mental fitness coach, counselor, keynote speaker, and host of the internationally ranked Beliefcast Podcast.

Todd openly shares his personal journey from addiction and hopelessness to a life dedicated to helping others discover hope, purpose, and lasting change. Together, we talk about how our beliefs shape our identity, the importance of intentional language, and why lasting transformation begins with the stories we choose to believe about ourselves.

In this conversation, we discuss:

Todd is also a proud sponsor of my journey as Mrs. South Jordan Utah 2026, supporting the pageant's mission of empowering women to lead with confidence, purpose, and service. His commitment to empowering others extends far beyond the stage, inspiring people of all ages to believe in themselves and become the best version of themselves.

I hope you'll walk away encouraged to examine the stories you tell yourself and choose words that move you toward growth, hope, and purpose.

I hope you'll take away these reminders:

In this episode of The Word Effect, I'm joined by my friend and positive psychology expert, Dr. Paul Jenkins, for a conversation about the power of our thoughts, words, and perspective. Together, we explore why we can't always change our circumstances—but we can choose how we respond to them.

We talk about becoming more aware of the stories we tell ourselves, how our words shape our beliefs, and why hope, gratitude, and intentional thinking can transform the way we experience life. Dr. Paul also shares two simple practices you can start using today to shift your mindset and build more positivity, even during life's most difficult moments.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or stuck, I hope this conversation reminds you that small shifts in perspective can create lasting change.

Who are you becoming? In this episode of The Word Effect, I explore why growth doesn't happen by accident—it happens through intentional choices we make every day. I share personal stories about creating a growth vision board, stepping outside my comfort zone, honoring commitments, and learning to embrace discomfort as part of the journey. You'll discover why becoming is more important than arriving, how the words you choose shape your direction, and why showing up consistently is one of the most powerful ways to grow. No matter where you are today, your next step is an opportunity to become the person you're meant to be.

What does it really mean to have the freedom to choose? In this episode of The Word Effect, I share why one of the greatest freedoms we have is the ability to choose our thoughts, our words, and where we place our focus. While we can't control every circumstance, we can choose how we respond. I'll share personal stories and practical leadership insights to help you cultivate more gratitude, lead yourself with intention, and discover how the words you choose each day can shape the life you're becoming.

What if perfection is the very thing holding you back?

In this episode of The Word Effect, I share why progress matters more than perfection and how small, intentional actions build confidence, momentum, and growth. Through personal stories and practical insights, you'll discover how to move forward before you feel completely ready, quiet your inner critic, and stop waiting for the perfect moment.

Progress doesn't require perfection—it simply requires the courage to take the next step.

Why relaunch a podcast at 50?

After a 3-year pause, I'm bringing The Word Effect back with a renewed purpose. In this episode, I share the personal journey behind the relaunch, what I've learned in this season of life, and why I believe our words have the power to shape confidence, resilience, leadership, and connection. If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to start something new, this conversation is for you.
