Watch Your Language! The Power of Spoken Word

Welcome to another family edition of The Tony Robbins Podcast. In
this intimate conversation, you'll hear from Tony Robbins, his
wife Sage Robbins, and their surrogate and family podcast host,
Mary B., as they explore the profound POWER of OUR SPOKEN WORDS.
In a world where words carry an invisible but undeniable
currency, our emotions and therefore the quality of our lives are
sculpted by the meanings embedded in the words we choose.


 


There's power and responsibility within the words we attach to
our experience of life – whether in the boardroom, family room,
or across the airwaves. If you're feeling “stuck”, “anxiety,”
“enraged,” “delighted,” “curious,” or even “depressed,” Tony
shows us how to take inventory of the words we consistently use
to describe our experience, and how we can consciously select our
words to alter our experience of life.


 


This isn't your typical self-affirmation exercise; it's a
powerful exploration of incantations, decrees, prayer,
conversation, internal dialogue, and a practice that transformed
Tony's life during the challenging times of his early years.


 


Listen to Tony's personal testimony as he shares -- during
despair and uncertainty -- how he turned to incantations as a
source of strength and transformation. From being broke and
sleeping in a Volkswagen to who he is as a leader, husband, and
father today, Tony's incantations have been a constant companion
on his 46-year journey of growth, contribution, and impact. As a
modern family constellation, Sage, Mary, and Tony also shed light
on the transformational vocabulary and the language ratios they
work to implement in their home, as well as the contemporary
relevance of the power of spoken words, when it comes to the
timely topic of freedom of speech and expression. It's an
important reminder that our habitual words hold weight in
contributing to the broader dialogue that’s shaping our world and
our collective relationship with humanity.


 


Join us for more than just a chat – it's a journey into the power
of language. Every word carries the ability to shape, transform,
and awaken something within you and NOW is the time to harness
this power and use it as we move forward into a new year!
