“How we shift our words impacts how we show up in that relationship.”

—  Allison Villa

Today’s topic is something really simple… but also really powerful: this episode explores exactly why words matter.

Being fluent in communication is definitely a relationship superpower! How you speak to and with your partner (and how you speak ABOUT your partner to others in your life) impacts your couple in significant ways.

You’ve heard the statement “Thoughts become things?”

The same goes for words.

Our words are energetic and powerful.  Once spoken, they become real — whether they convey simple dinner plans or our deepest beliefs about our partner. Words and perception are closely linked. This is true for both the way that our words cause us to see other people and the way that our words can cause other people to see themselves.

Shifting our words impacts how we show up in our relationships… even when the words are said to other people.

There are simple, everyday techniques that you can use to heal your perspective, strengthen your relationships, and even build up your own self esteem. Ready to get started? All you need to do is press play.

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode of Couplehood,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

✔   How your words can shape the person your child will eventually become — and how shifting the message can change the way you relate to them

✔  3 steps to healing your words and perspective in your relationship

✔  The importance of giving grace and making space to be human (for both you and your partner)

“How you speak about your relationship to others is precious. It’s important. It matters.”
