Welcome back, wellness seeker!  In this week's episode, we're exploring the hidden power of your your belief system and how the words you choose—especially absolutes like “always,” “never,” and “should”—can either make you feel trapped or more freedom.

This is not about guilt or shame—it’s about self-awareness and choosing to speak life and truth over yourself. You’ll learn how shifting just a few simple phrases can lighten your mental load and reshape your entire mindset. 

Whether you're navigating burnout, striving for growth, or just want to speak to yourself more kindly, this episode is your invitation to pause, reflect, and reframe. You'll also get a taste of next week's episode with a powerful affirmation segment designed to lift your spirit and ground you in truth.

Key Takeaways:

  • The danger of absolute language in your self-talk (e.g., never, always, should, have to)
  • How words influence your mindset—either fixed or growth-based
  • The connection between scarcity vs. abundance thinking
  • A simple language shift that creates freedom and possibility
  • A grounding affirmation segment to help you practice reframing
  • Reflective questions to help you build awareness around your internal dialogue

Learn how to reframe phrases like:

  • “I have to go to work” → “I get to go to work and share my gifts.”
  • “I should’ve started earlier” → “I choose to begin from where I am, now.”
