"Hey there, my fur-tastic friends! Welcome back to The
Monkey the Cat Podcast! I’mMonkey, your favorite talking
cat, and today’s episode isabout something that can make
your words powerful, peaceful,or—if you’re not careful—a
little confusing.
Our lesson today?
Clarity comes from choosingwords that match your
intentions.

(00:31):
That means saying what you mean,how you mean it, and making sure
your words help—not hurt—themessage you’re trying to share.
I learned this while trying togive a compliment that didn’t
quite come out the way I hoped.""It all happened when Olivff
showed us her brand-newpainting: a big, beautiful
sunset over a field of flowersand… one purple cow.

(00:54):
Everyone stood in awe.
Brooklyn wagged.
‘So colorful!’ Teddy nodded.
‘Incredible detail.’ Maxchirped,‘That cow’s got style!’
And me?
I said…‘Wow! That looks waybetter than your last painting!’
Gulp.
Olivff’s ears lowered.
Brooklyn gave me the side-eye.
Max whispered,‘Yikes.’ I meantto say,“You’ve improved so

(01:17):
much!” But what Olivff heardwas,“Your last painting was
bad.” That’s when Mom—stepped inand said,‘Monkey, if your heart
means to lift someone up, makesure your words do the same.’""I
took a breath.
I walked over and said,‘Olivff,I’m sorry.
What I meant to say was… I canreally see how much work and

(01:38):
talent went into this.
You’ve grown so much as anartist.’ She smiled.
Her tail twitched happily.
‘Thanks,’ she whispered.
‘That means a lot.’ That momenttaught me:✅It’s not just what
you say—it’s how you say it.
✅Matching your words to yourtrue intention creates clarity.

(01:58):
✅And clarity builds trust,friendship, and confidence.
Because words are like puzzlepieces—when they fit your
intention, the whole picturebecomes clear." What We Learned
Today🔹Clarity starts withmeaning what you say—and saying
what you mean.
🔹Words that don’t match yourheart can confuse or hurt

(02:18):
others.
🔹Taking time to choose the rightwords shows thoughtfulness.
🔹Clear communication createsstronger connections.
"So here’s my challenge for YOUtoday: Practice saying something
with intention and clarity.
✅Compliment someone clearly andkindly.
✅Explain how you feel using trueand thoughtful words.

(02:41):
✅And if your message comes outwrong—pause, reflect, and try
again.
Because communication is askill—and the clearer your
words, the stronger yourrelationships.

your heart, people hear yourkindness loud and clear.

(03:04):

with love, and choose your wordslike they matter—because they
do.
