The Phrase That Steals Your Power (and What to Say Instead)

How often do you catch yourself saying “I can’t”? It might seem small, but this tiny phrase can quietly drain your energy, disconnect you from your values, and leave you feeling powerless.

In this episode, Melli shares how shifting your self-talk from “I can’t” to “I choose not to” can be a game changer for your mindset and emotional well-being. This simple language tweak can help you reclaim your agency and act from a place of clarity and purpose.

You’ll learn:

Why “I can’t” reinforces a subtle sense of helplessness

How “I choose not to” reconnects you with your values and power

How to use this practice to uncover limiting beliefs and step into wiser choices

This is a powerful mindset tool for anyone ready to break free from mental loops and start living with more intention.
