Crafting Purpose Through The Power of Positive Speaking | GOF47

Does positive speaking, the stuff we say, really have the power to shape our lives? On this episode of GOF, I’m joined by guest host Dr. Brian Russell to discuss the power of language in everyday life.

We approach healthy language as a way to identify and frame our life’s purpose.
