from RAW CHATTER! Unfiltered Conversations on the Psychology of Addiction, Behaviour & High Performance · host Vicky Midwood - Human Performance Strategist
Your words are not neutral.In this episode of Raw Chatter, I explore how the language you use every day is quietly reinforcing the patterns you say you want to change - from burnout and overwhelm to repeated crises, money stress, and feeling stuck.This isn’t about positive thinking or policing your language.It’s about awareness.Inside this episode, we explore:✔️ Why repeated phrases become expectations✔️ How over-explaining and justifying reinforce struggle✔️ The link between language, nervous system stress, and burnout✔️ Why chaos and crisis can become addictive✔️ How your words reveal what you actually believe - not what you say you believe✔️ A simple awareness exercise to interrupt the patternIf you’ve ever found yourself saying:“This always happens to me”“I was going to do it, but something came up”“It’s just a hard season”“I don’t have a choice”This episode will help you understand why - and what to do differently.🎧 Raw Chatter is a podcast about addiction, recovery, reinvention, and learning to think, feel, and function better.👍 If this resonates, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who might need to hear it.Vicky xx 🧠 Website: https://vickymidwood.com/ 📩 Join the email list for weekly updates: https://tinyurl.com/2jbbmtuvEmail: [email protected] Book a call: https://tidycal.com/vicky1/30-minute-chat Connect via social media:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vickymidwoodhealthcoach/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vicky.midwood/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vicky_gofigurecoaching/
