What if the biggest obstacle to your focus, peace, and progress... is the way you talk?

We often think our words are harmless, even helpful. But what if your constant explanations, emotional over-sharing, or polite "yeses" are the very habits keeping you stuck?

In Your Words Are Working Against You, you'll uncover the hidden ways everyday conversations sabotage your goals, relationships, and mental clarity. From gossip that drains your time, to over-explaining that fuels anxiety, to inherited family scripts that silence your truth—this book breaks down the seven most common conversation traps... and how to escape them.

Through relatable stories, practical exercises, and powerful reframes, you'll learn how to:

Stop using words to seek approval, defend your worth, or delay hard decisions

Set powerful boundaries—without guilt, conflict, or over-talking

Speak with clarity, confidence, and intention in every interaction

Say "no" without over-explaining, and "yes" without resentment

Redesign your self-talk so it becomes your greatest ally—not your worst enemy

Whether you're a people-pleaser, overthinker, or someone who just wants more peace and less drama, this book will help you talk less, feel lighter, and live with more purpose.

Stop leaking energy through your mouth. Start using your words to create the life you actually want.
