Language isn’t just about words—it’s about intention. In this episode, we dive into why phrases like ‘thanks’ instead of ‘thank you,’ ‘love you’ instead of ‘I love you,’ and ‘sorry’ instead of ‘I’m sorry’ can leave relationships feeling hollow. These half-phrases might seem small, but they carry weight. I’ll share why I refuse to accept them and why you should, too. Discover how words can deepen connection, honor effort, and rebuild sincerity in a world starving for authenticity. Say it whole, or don’t say it at all.
