Being Intentional With Your Words

Episode 16 – We say things without thinking — little phrases like “I’m sorry,” “I’m fine,” or “I probably sound crazy” — but over time, those words shape how we see ourselves.

In today’s episode of Getting Through Today, Brita opens up about her own journey with chronic illness, guilt, and the reflexive language that kept her playing small. Together, we explore:

Why “I’m sorry” is more than just a polite phrase

How automatic self-talk can shrink our sense of worth

What it looks like to reframe those patterns with kindness and truth

You’ll leave this episode with gentle awareness, practical ways to shift your inner dialogue, and permission to take up space — without apology.

Because healing starts with the words we choose. And you deserve to speak to yourself with the same compassion you offer everyone else.

Let’s start rewriting those scripts — one phrase at a time.
