Words have power, especially the ones you say to yourself. Jamie Raterman discusses how you can edit your relationship to your true potential by how you choose to talk to yourself. She shares The eight words to remove from your vocabulary in order to reclaim your power.

Rewriting personal narrative through language

Jamie Ratermann shares key phrases like 'have to,' 'need to,' and 'should' are some of the words that can be eliminated from your vocabulary. She recommends reframing statements with empowering language like 'I choose to'. Ratermann urges listeners to replace generalizations with specific expressions, eliminating conjunctions like but. The goal is to notice language patterns and choose words that foster positivity, control, growth, and self-empowerment. Taking steps towards intentional self-talk is crucial for moving past victimhood to embrace personal power.
