Today we are getting personal. We begin with the stresses of being a parent — especially on Halloween night. In the midst of all this commotion, sometimes we forget the impact of our own words. I reflect on my own love language of words of affirmation and how negative words carry more weight than positive ones. The goal after listening to this episode: start making a “good list” for yourself of all the things you are proud of.  What we’re talking about:  Once upon a Halloween night filled with sugar induced five-year-olds Our tendencies to focus on the negatives  The weight of negative versus positive words Making more conscious decisions to be intentional with positive words Creating a “good list” for all the things we are proud of ourselves/kiddos/partner/loved ones for doing I started doing this for my five year old and read it to her at bed time  Another anecdote (At home date recommendation: bottle of wine and We’re Not Really Strangers card game) of the impact of our words Importance of love languages in how we accept and receive love  Links Mentioned Kelsey Murphy Website  Instagram
