Days of Peace 2 | Speaking the Language of Peace

Every day, in countless conversations, we stand at a crossroads. The words we choose can act like gasoline on a spark of disagreement, or they can be the water that calms the flame. So often, we use our words as weapons without even realizing it—and wonder why we end up in a battle. This episode is a practical playbook for turning your words into tools for building bridges. We dive deep into the language of peace, identifying the common verbal traps that trigger defensiveness and escalate arguments (like "you" statements and dismissive language). More importantly, you will learn the powerful alternatives: the art of the "I" statement, the magic of active listening, and the simple phrases that can validate another person’s feelings and completely change the dynamic of a difficult conversation. If you want to have more connection and less conflict in your life—at home, at work, and in your community—this episode will give you the skills to make it happen.
