About this episode
Originally aired on the Miracle Morning Podcast with Hal Elrod
Pause for a moment and listen to that little voice in your head. What’s it saying right now? Is it lifting you up and encouraging you or stressing you out?
How you talk to yourself can make or break your dreams, and nobody knows this better than today’s guest, Vasavi Kumar, author of the book Say It Out Loud. In today’s episode, she shares her process for dealing with negative self-talk. And it’s not just about silencing those pesky thoughts.
We go one step further. You’ll discover the transformational power of saying them out loud and how that can help you understand and process your emotions better.
Vasavi will guide you through the specific steps of this process. By the end, you’ll be able to talk to yourself to build trust, heal past wounds, strengthen your relationships, and find the courage to go after your deepest, most profound goals.
