In this episode, we explore the childhood saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”While its intention is to encourage resilience, it doesn’t fully capture the truth: words can hurt. We discuss why words impact us so deeply, how to shift our mindset, and practical ways to stop letting others’ opinions hold power over us.

This episode focuses on reclaiming confidence and embracing one's own voice. It reminds us that the strongest opinion about you should always be your own.
