In this episode, Bonnie talks about how the words we use can powerfully shape our lives, both positively and negatively. 

Learn how research shows that negative or pain-related words can actually increase pain levels and trigger stress hormones like cortisol. On the flip side, positive, encouraging words release feel-good hormones like serotonin.

Bonnie encourages us to surround ourselves with affirming people who can speak life into challenging situations. She also guides us through a breathing exercise of meditating on the Breath Prayer "You will keep me in perfect peace" from Isaiah 26:3.
