Kendell doesn't just stop at pointing out the problem; she offers practical advice on how to flip on our internal filters and choose our words more wisely. Drawing inspiration from the wisdom of Dr. Maya Angelou, she encourages listeners to replace negative self-talk with positive affirmations and to seek new ways of expressing themselves.
