Hey friends! Have you ever noticed how certain words can make you feel small—losing your power even before the conversation begins? In this episode of From Both Sides Of The Couch, we’ll explore why one of the most powerful tools for emotional intelligence lies in the words we use every day.

 

Join me, Dr. Laurie Bruce, your clinical psychologist and mindfulness coach, as we talk about how mindful communication can move you from powerlessness to clarity. I’ll be sharing five simple yet impactful shifts that can help you strengthen self-empowerment through language.

 

We’re here to pay attention and respond with intention. It’s our responsibility to frame our lives and set boundaries with honesty and compassion. Because small shifts in the way we speak can create big transformations in how we live.
