BOO477 - Words Matter

In this episode, the show takes a hard look at the power of words—how they shape our relationships, our communities, and the world we co-create. We challenge the old saying "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me," because we know that words do hurt—and they can also heal.

From middle school memories to the courage of John Lewis, we explore how easy it is to mirror hate and how radical it is to respond from love. The episode invites reflection on how we use our words—especially when tensions rise—and what it means to stay grounded in our values.
