from The Giddyup Guide to the Galaxy · host Sherrise, Founder of Giddyup Gear, LLC

Words are more powerful than you think—they shape how we feel, what we see, and even who we become. In this kickoff to our four-part series, Reya and Kai discover a mysterious garden where every word they speak causes plants to bloom or wilt. It's not just magic—it’s energy, intention, and science all rolled into one.In this episode, we explore how words affect the world around us and inside us. We’ll talk about how changing just one word can shift your entire perspective—and how the way we speak to ourselves matters just as much as what we say to others.✨ You’ll also hear about a real-life experiment from IKEA, where students spoke kindly to one plant and negatively to another—and the results were stunning. (Yes, really!)
