In this episode we delve into the profound impact of language on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Before digging into this Steph reflects on personal experiences of loss, particularly during Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, and discuss the significance of connection and remembrance through cultural symbols like the Jizo statues in Japan.

The conversation transitions into an exploration of specific words that shape communication, such as 'sorry', 'should', 'but', and 'just', emphasising the importance of reframing language to foster positive interactions and self-empowerment. And don't even get us started on the exclamation point!!!!!

• Language shapes our thoughts and behaviors significantly.
• Mindfulness in language can enhance communication.
• Empowerment comes from choosing our words carefully.
• Using 'and' instead of 'but' fosters connection
• Words like 'sorry' can minimise our self
• Reframing 'sorry' to 'thank you' shifts focus to others
• 'Should' implies obligation and can create guilt
• 'Just' can dilute the importance of our statements.
• Awareness of language can lead to more positive interactions.
