In This Episode

What if the words you use to describe yourself are shaping how you see your worth, your strength, and even your healing? In this solo episode, I take you on a powerful deep dive into the language we use—terms like strong, weak, resilient, and courageous—and how their meanings, both culturally and personally, influence the way we move through life’s most challenging seasons.

I unpack the history and evolution of these words, explore their original definitions, and share how understanding their roots helped me reframe my own inner dialogue—especially while navigating the emotional ups and downs of perimenopause. Through personal stories and lived experiences, I reveal how the labels we place on ourselves can either limit or liberate us, depending on how we choose to define them.

This episode is an invitation to reflect, rethink, and rewrite the language you use to talk to yourself. You’ll learn how to shift from a mindset of comparison and unrealistic strength to one of self-compassion, courage, and deeper clarity. Whether you’re going through a transition, healing from your past, or simply craving a more empowered inner narrative, this episode is here to remind you: your words have power—and so do you.

Quote/Piece of Advice: Your story is your story, defined by your experience, not anyone else's. It’s not less. It’s not more. It’s yours.
