Show Notes

Tap to send me your reflections ♡

Today's episode is a romp through wordy things.

Headlines are:

  • We bandy words about and use them without thinking
  • Words can have multiple meanings - including ones we haven't been consciously aware of
  • The words we use influence our behaviours and the choices we make
  • The word 'should' is a shame-based word (maybe not always - but it's an interesting perspective)
  • Replacing 'should' with 'could' opens us up to new possibilities
  • Our unconscious usage of language  can express our profound awareness of what we’re experiencing inside
  • Freud said we ‘leak’ what we're experiencing under the surface of what we think we’re saying
  • Always notice with love
  • Affirmations can be POWERFUL tools for change - positive language in the present tense
  • My box of  LoveWords© — I might share this one day - or make your own!

And finally, I share a marvellous quote about words from Khalil Gibran. It's worth listening just for that!

With love, always
Henny x

What is the Henny Flynn podcast?

A space to settle in and listen, and see where the episode takes you. This inspiring, reflective podcast is an invitation to travel deeper, with compassionate self-enquiry.

Henny shares insights from her own life, alongside practices that help us connect with our inner wisdom, explore our relationship with change and find a greater sense of flow. Henny believes we all hold our own answers, so there are no one-size-fits-all solutions here. This is a space to be with what’s true for you, and to grow from there.

If you’re drawn to slowing down, listening in, and exploring what it means to live with greater authenticity, this podcast is for you. Guided by psychology, mindfulness, therapeutic coaching, flow journaling, and everyday compassion, we explore ideas that help us step further into our inner worlds, in order to shape the changes we seek in our outer worlds.
