#13: Your words change what you believe

“I just think maybe we should revisit the timeline.” Say that sentence out loud. Now say it again without the first four words - We should revisit the timeline. Same thought. Completely different weight. In this episode, Lisa breaks down the small, automatic words so many of us insert before we've finished a sentence, words like think, maybe, and sorry, and why they show up most in the exact moments we need authority or clarity. She walks through why your subconscious mind is quietly working to keep you inside a comfort zone it built a long time ago, what a phrase like “I don't want to fail” is actually doing to your brain, and why noticing your own words, before you try to fix anything, is the real first step.
