The Power of Words: What We Say Shapes How We Relate, with Professor Marcia Mikulak (Re-release)
About this episode
This episode discusses how language shapes our relationships and encourages awareness and empathy in communication.
This year on Health Raisers, our focus on healthy relationships continues. This episode is a re-release from my previous podcast, The YOGI MD Podcast. My guest is Dr. Marcia Mikulak , Researcher, Analyst, and Musician, and Professor Emeritus of Anthropology from the University of North Dakota, with a background in cultural anthropology. We talked about the power of words - how language establishes status and hierarchy, shaping how we see ourselves and directly affecting our relationships. In this episode, we invite you to notice how you use language and respond with awareness and empathy to foster stronger and more honest relationships. 🎙️ Original Podcast Music by Nadine Kelly (drums and vocals) and Tim Buell; Produced by Tim Buell ❤️ Sponsored by Infusco Coffee Roasters , Mak Salon and Spa , and Fernwood Botanical Garden.
