Episode 252: How to Reclaim Your Power: Stop Using These 3 Words
In this episode…
You may not realize how often you’re giving your power away with just three words.
The phrase “I have to” seems harmless, but it quietly reinforces the belief that you’re trapped in your life and stuck in obligations, responsibilities, and roles you didn’t choose. Over time, this language creates resentment, drains your energy, and disconnects you from your sense of agency.
When you begin to shift your language even slightly, you begin to shift your experience. Moving from “I have to,” into “I get to,” reconnects you with the truth that you are participating in your life. And while some choices may feel difficult or even painful, recognizing that you made them opens the door to something powerful: the ability to choose differently moving forward.
This is not about bypassing reality or forcing positivity. It’s about telling yourself the truth in a way that brings you back into alignment with your self-worth, your voice, and your power.
