Episode 292 The Word That Changes Everything
In this episode of the Three Word Podcast, Lisa reflects on a simple but powerful mindset shift inspired by Seth Godin: replacing the word "but" with "and". That one small change can reshape how we view challenge, growth, and the tension of real life. Instead of using language that shuts us down, this episode explores how to choose and create space for both honesty and possibility. Lisa also shares a personal reflection from caring for her 95-year-old mom with vascular dementia, and how that experience has deepened her understanding that some seasons of life are both difficult and meaningful at the same time. This episode is a reminder that life is rarely either-or. Often, it is both. In this episode: Why the word but can keep us stuck How and opens the door to growth and perspective Why two things can be true at once A personal reflection on caregiving, love, and meaning How to shift your self-talk in hard seasons Key reminder: Life can be hard and rewarding. You can be tired and grateful. You can be stretched and still strong. Reflection question: Where in your life do you need to stop living in but and start living in and?
