Welcome to another episode of the Nurses of Faith Podcast. I am your host, Tola Olabiyi, and I am excited to have you join me today.

In this episode, we’ll be discussing the profound impact that our words have on our lives and the lives of those around us.

Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of negativity? Are you questioning why your nursing journey feels burdensome? The answers might lie in the words you speak over yourself and your experiences. I personally believe that the language of lament can trap us in challenges, while positive affirmations can unlock doors to grace and fulfillment.

We’ll discuss:

• The Importance of Your Words: Understand how your spoken words shape your reality—whether in your nursing career, finances, marriage, or parenting.
• Breaking Negative Cycles: Learn how to counteract harmful language and reframe your mindset to attract positivity and success.
• Practical Tips for Nurses: Find out how to cancel negative proclamations and speak life into your daily work and relationships.
• Scriptural Insights: Explore powerful scriptures that reinforce your authority to speak blessings over your life and others.

Today, I challenge you to reflect on the phrases and attitudes you've adopted. Are you agreeing with negativity around you? Are you unintentionally cursing your own progress by speaking hardship over your career, finances, marriage, or children?

Through biblical insights, we’ll unpack how God’s creation of us in His image gives us the authority to speak life into our circumstances. We’ll also address the importance of surrounding ourselves with positive influences, actively rejecting negative narratives, and intentionally choosing our words to align with God’s promises.

This episode is for nurses, healthcare workers, and faith-driven professionals seeking encouragement and clarity in their daily lives. It’s also for women juggling careers, family, and other challenges, as well as anyone battling self-doubt or looking to align their words and mindset with their faith. If you’re ready to silence negativity, rediscover your worth, and step into a season of growth and blessings, this episode is for you.

Get ready to be inspired to shift your perspective and learn how to prophesy positivity and purpose over every aspect of your life. Your words have power and it’s time to use them wisely!
