You’re Underestimating the Power of Your Words — Life Lesson Quotes — Paul Flood | Ep 222

In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I sit down with Paul Flood, founder of The Optimistic Heart, to unpack the transformative power of the quote “Be Impeccable with Your Word” from The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. Paul shares how adopting this simple yet profound mantra not only changed the way he speaks to others, but more importantly, how he speaks to himself. He opens up about moments when self-criticism crept in and how shifting his inner dialogue allowed him to become more compassionate, both inwardly and outwardly. Through Paul’s honest storytelling—like the wisdom he gained from a heartfelt exchange with his young daughter and his journey toward sobriety—we explore why the words we choose matter so much, how they shape our realities, and why being mindful in speech is a lifelong practice. For anyone hungry for personal growth or looking to break old patterns of self-doubt, this conversation is filled with warm insights and actionable wisdom you can use right now.
