In By Nine Podcast

In this episode of In By Nine, we’re talking about something powerful, personal, and unforgettable:Words.The compliments that built us. The criticism that stuck. The sentences we still hear decades later. Why do negative words last longer than praise? Why do so many women remember childhood insults more vividly than encouragement? And how do we rewrite the language we use with ourselves, our partners, and our children?In this conversation, we explore:• The psychology of words and negativity bias• How childhood language shapes adult confidence• Why harsh criticism activates the brain like physical pain• The power of affirmations and neuroplasticity• How women speak to themselves vs. how they speak to others• The phrases we’re retiring in 2025We also challenge ourselves to choose one word that defines who we’re becoming — and give life-giving words to each other at the table.If you’ve ever carried a sentence longer than you meant to… this episode is for you. Speak life. Choose carefully. Words build worlds.💬 Tell us in the comments: What’s one sentence you’ve never forgotten?
