In this episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rach explores how a tiny shift in the words we use can change the way we experience our lives, focusing on the power of the phrase “I am.” She encourages listeners to stop turning temporary feelings into permanent identities, replace exaggerated or self-deprecating language with more accurate descriptions, and separate what actually happened from the story they tell themselves about it. Rachel emphasizes that this practice is not about denying difficult emotions, but about naming them honestly and choosing language that creates more agency, clarity, and opportunities to move forward.
