The Importance of the Words That We Use

In this honest and eye-opening episode, I’m joined by Breanne Kerr for a conversation I’ve been wanting to have for a long time. Together, we explore something that shows up in every corner of our relationships with animals—the language we use, the words we choose, and the energy that lives underneath them.We talk about the moments that have made us pause, the jokes that weren’t really jokes, the labels we’ve absorbed from others, and the words that can land with a surprising amount of charge. Whether it’s calling a horse “stubborn,” a cat “lazy,” or a dog “bad,” we look at how these descriptions shape not only how our animals feel, but also how we understand them, relate to them, and advocate for them.And of course, we delve into the flip side: the impact of speaking with respect, clarity, and kindness and how those simple choices can change the way our animals receive us, and how we receive ourselves.This episode is an invitation to expand your awareness, soften into humility, and get curious about the words that fall out of your mouth without you even noticing. Not with judgment, but with compassion, honesty, and a desire to grow.   Connect with Breanne Kerr: Website: www.wildwynd.comInstagram @wildwyndequineFacebook @wildwyndequine  Connect with Brittany Ashworth: Website: www.sacredechos.comInstagram @sacredechosFacebook @sacredechos
