About this episode

Today I have an episode based on two words. That's it, two English words. But these two words affect our lives so much. One of these words is responsible for our loneliness, depression, our feelings of never having enough. It causes hate, and fights, and divorce. It makes us want to put our heads in the sand.

 

And the other word is the solution to the first word. The second word makes us feel more connected to others, more fulfilled, more courageous, and you'll be happy to know this word, or applying this word to your life, will also help you become a badass confident English speaker. It's kind of the secret to success with learning a foreign language.
