“The words and the language are the main toolkits that we have. It is the main paintbrush that we have to describe not just external realities, to describe not just what we see, what we experience, our traumas, our stories, our experiences. But most importantly, it is, in a way, the only tool that we have to describe our internal realities onto the others.” - Benoit Kim Welcome back to another episode of Discover More.

Welcome back to another episode of Discover More.

This week, we unpack one of the big topics from our interview with Professor Jack Knipe, Ph.D.—the power of language.

Jack explained the power of language through the lens of cognitive linguistics, which is the study of the relationships between language, the mind, and how we relate to the world.

Language is one of the most powerful tools we have in life.

As author Don Miguel Ruiz says, “The word is a force; it is the power you have to express and communicate, to think, and thereby to create the events in your life.”

We explore these relationships as well as some of the language reframes that we’ve used to create empowering narratives within our own lives.

This episode will help you explore the question, “how intentional are you being with the words that you’re bringing to life?”

Thank you for Discovering More with us this week.
