The Language Alchemy Podcast

100. What is Language Alchemy?

“Language AlchemyTM is a unique transformative communication system, an awareness practice, and a form of evolutionary activism,” explains host and transformative communication coach Alejandra. In today’s 100th episode of the Language Alchemy Podcast, Alejandra shares a deeper look into the practice of Language AlchemyTM and talks about why language is so important to her personally.
 
Language AlchemyTM requires constant awareness of what is going on internally within your own mind and body. It requires reflecting on the messaging you were taught growing up that likely still informs how you think and relate to others. When you are aware of the reasons behind how you think and communicate the way that you do, you can start to deconstruct any outdated communication patterns and misaligned beliefs. This will give you the opportunity to create new communication patterns that are in alignment with your actual beliefs, goals, and values. 
 
When you transform your communication patterns using Language AlchemyTM, you gain the ability to communicate from a place of true authenticity. This not only honors yourself, but also honors everyone whom you communicate with. As a form of evolutionary activism, Language AlchemyTM is a pathway to a more equitable, compassionate, and respectful future for all members of our human family.

99. How Parents Can Stay Grounded While Setting Limits

“Motherhood is obviously a very important piece of my life, but it's also still just a piece of who I am as Sarah. It is the most divine love, but you can easily lose yourself in it if you're not careful,” explains Sarah Ezrin, author of The Yoga of Parenting. Today, Sarah speaks with host Alejandra about how parents can stay grounded while setting limits.
 
Conscious parenting requires a strong sense of self, awareness, and intentionality, as well as healthy boundaries. Children are their own beings who are deserving of respect and autonomy of their own. However, this does not mean that you can allow them to do anything they want or rule the household. Research has shown that children tend to benefit the most from a middle ground that incorporates limits and boundaries with a strong sense of connection between themselves and their caregiver. Through yoga, Sarah has developed tools that transfer over to conscious parenting, such as gaining a deeper awareness of her limiting beliefs and negative self-talk.
 
It is important to find ways to stay grounded while working on consciously building a healthy relationship with your child. If you do not establish healthy boundaries, not only will you risk losing the parts of your identity that do not revolve around motherhood, but your child may not be able to learn how to set their own boundaries.
Quotes
• “Every healthy relationship needs healthy boundaries, and our children need our healthy boundaries as well.” (12:13-12:20 | Alejandra)
• “Motherhood is obviously a very important piece of my life, and they are my favorite human beings on the planet. But it's also still just a piece of who I am as Sarah, as a whole. It is the most divine love, but you can easily lose yourself in it if you're not careful. And it's important to keep yourself as an anchor, so that you actually even have that love to give.” (15:59-16:22 | Sarah) 
• “Even though we do try to see our children as whole beings who deserve respect and autonomy, it doesn't mean that they're getting the run of the house.” (17:09-17:20 | Sarah)
• “It's finding the middle ground of having high limit setting, but also high connection.” (19:05-19:11 | Sarah)

98. Conscious Communication Via Text and Social Media

“If we want to communicate consciously via text messaging or social media, then we need to be aware that we are using a different medium of communication and we cannot have the same kind of interaction that we have in person or over the phone,” explains host and transformative communication coach Alejandra. Today, she cultivates awareness around the importance of conscious communication when using text messaging and social media.The intent behind your message can easily be misconstrued when communicating via text message or over a social media platform. With misunderstandings being at the root of so many conflicts, it can be quite beneficial to engage in conscious communication. Instead of responding with an emoji which could be seen as dismissive, or sending texts with incomplete thoughts that could cause confusion, take some extra time to make sure what you have written is a clear and complete thought. Additionally, instead of simply liking a social media post, take a moment to actually type out a response. This will show the receiver that you are truly listening to and valuing what they have to say.
 
With more communication occurring via social media and text messaging nowadays, it is more important than ever to engage in conscious communication in order to avoid misunderstandings. The next time you go to send a text message, slow down and make sure you have written out your complete thought, as this will help to avoid miscommunication. 
 
Quotes
• “If we want to communicate consciously via text messaging or social media, then we need to be aware that we are using a different medium of communication. So we cannot have the same kind of interaction that we have in person or over the phone.” (8:29-8:50 | Alejandra)
• “Please take a few seconds to finish your thought before you hit send.” (13:27-13:34 | Alejandra) 
• “When you write a social media post, I suggest you tell people exactly what you would like to receive as a response.” (17:21-17:29 | Alejandra)
• “When you respond to a post on social media, if you didn't read the text and you just liked the picture or the video, then type and actually say ‘I liked your photo’.” (18:16-18:35 | Alejandra)
• “When we are communicating consciously, we are aware of how we are communicating.” (20:24-20:29 | Alejandra)

97. Before You Send That Message...

“When you get an unclear, ambiguous, and vague text message, the message is open to so many interpretations. You may have all sorts of stories in your mind, and when you respond, your response may be influenced by the narrative you created,” explains host Alejandra. Today, she discusses six points of consideration for more skillful, conscious, mindful, and efficient communication when using written communication tools like text messaging.
 
Misunderstandings can often lead to unintentional conflict. In order to avoid the potential for misunderstandings, it is typically best to spend a bit more time making sure your message is written in as clear language as possible. When you receive an unclear, ambiguous, and vague text message, instead of coming up with assumptions about the sender’s intent, ask a clarifying question. This will help both you and the sender communicate more mindfully and efficiently while reducing the opportunity for misunderstandings. 
 
People frequently make the mistake of sacrificing clarity for brevity when it comes to texting. Spend some extra time making sure your text message is clear. Because this will not only show consideration for the recipient’s time and reduce misunderstandings, but also your overall communication will be more efficient. 
 
Quotes
• “Vague, ambiguous, unclear messages are taxing to your brain.” (4:02-4:08 | Alejandra)
• “When you get such an unclear, ambiguous, and vague text message, the message is open to so many interpretations. You may have all sorts of stories in your mind, and when you respond, your response may be influenced by the narrative you created.” (9:57-10:16 | Alejandra)
• “If you're trying to be brief and quick in a text message, make sure you're not sacrificing clarity.” (14:20-14:28 | Alejandra) 
• “If you take a couple more minutes or a few more seconds before you send that text message or before you reply to an unclear message, your communication will not only be more skillful, because you'll reduce the amount of guesswork and misunderstanding, but your communication will also be more efficient, because you will reduce the number of messages in the thread.” (18:25-18:49 | Alejandra)

96. Need Inspiration?

“Living a committed life is not easy, but it is so rewarding,” shares host Alejandra. Recently, Alejandra was inspired by the messages in Lynne Twist’s new book, Living A Committed Life: Finding Freedom and Fulfillment in a Purpose Larger Than Yourself. Today, she discusses how transforming your language can help you to transform how you live your life as well as eight steps you can take to create a more committed life. 
 
In order to commit to something greater than yourself, it is important to first determine your values. Once you are clear on what your values are, you can begin to transform your mindset through conscious communication. When you transform your language and learn to really listen, you will be able to create healthier relationships with others and form an ecosystem of support around your commitments. Although your transformation process may take a long time, try to stay committed to the long game and dream big.
 
Commitments lead to liberation. Once you take a stand for your values and commit to something greater than yourself, your mindset will start to shift and true transformation can occur. 
 
Quotes
• “Transforming your language helps you transform how you live your life.” (8:49-8:53 | Alejandra)
• “Transformation is a complete and total shift in the nature and dynamics of what's happening. When you set out to make a change in the world, you respond or react to what currently exists, so your goal is to make it less, more different or better. Transformation creates something anew." (9:31-9:57 | Alejandra reading from Lynne’s book) 
• “Language alchemy is evolutionary activism.” (13:37-13:41 | Alejandra)
• “Transforming your language and learning to listen is how you transform the context, your mindset, and how you learn to trust in your capacity to take action. It's also how you learn to relate to others in a healthy way so that together, you can create a healthy ecosystem of collaborators.” (18:18-18:40 | Alejandra)
• “Living a committed life is not easy, but it is so rewarding.” (18:45-18:50 | Alejandra)

95. How to Talk Respectfully to a Person with a Disability

“I don't want people to just be reduced to their disability, I want people to know that they can be so much more,” explains Jessie Wolinsky, social justice advocate and Badass Blind Babe Podcaster. Jessie was diagnosed at 7 years old with retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative condition that causes blindness. At 14, she started the Jessie’s SightSavers fundraising group and raised a quarter of a million dollars for blindness research. Now, she is the President of the Los Angeles chapter for The Foundation Fighting Blindness. Today, she talks with host Alejandra about mindful communication and how to speak respectfully to a person with a disability. 
 
Many people do not interact with people with disabilities regularly. This unfamiliarity may cause them to act or speak in ways that are unintentionally disrespectful. Jessie explains that one of the most powerful things someone can do is to ask every person with blindness or another disability how they wish to be referred to, as language surrounding a disability is incredibly personal. Some may choose to refer to themselves as ‘blind’ as Jessie does, while others may view that language as harmful. The language you choose to use can inadvertently reduce a person to their disability, when in reality they are so much more than that. This is why it is so important to be mindful and use respectful communication.
 
Disabilities are a spectrum and just because two people are both blind, they may not have the same symptoms or experiences. By changing your language to reflect the individuality of the person you are speaking to, you are respecting that each person with a disability is unique. 
Quotes
• “Everyone deserves to have the right to be referred to in a way that makes them feel comfortable and resonates with who they truly are and how they truly want to identify.” (0:00-0:10 | Jessie)
• “I'm going blind, I can't control that. But I control how I respond to it.” (6:05-6:09 | Jessie)
• “Everyone struggles with always finding positivity in their life and trying to come to terms with things that they cannot control.“ (7:39-7:46 | Jessie) 
• “The most powerful thing that someone can do is ask every person with a disability or ask every person who suffers from vision loss, how do you want to be referred to?” (9:47-9:57 | Jessie)
• “I don't want people to just be reduced to their disability, and I want people to know that they can be so much more.” (16:26-16:31 | Jessie)
• “Everyone has the power to create the life that they want, regardless of what they might be experiencing, regardless of the things that they might not be able to control or change.” (21:06-21:15 | Jessie)

94. This Is How You Avoid Conflicts

“The remedy, when you realize you're heading into conflict, is to, number one, find the misunderstanding. And number two, communicate clearly and directly,” explains host Alejandra. According to Linguists, 85% of all conflicts are based on misunderstandings. Today, Alejandra discusses how to avoid unintentional conflicts by explaining the four reasons why these misunderstandings happen.
 
When conflicts occur in a relationship, it can typically be traced back to a misunderstanding. If you are unclear in your words, desires, or intentions, this may lead the person you are speaking with to misunderstand you. By working on communicating more clearly, you can avoid these conflicts. Some additional sources of misunderstanding come from misinterpreting someone’s words or actions as hurtful, assuming ill intent on behalf of the other person, and not clearly outlining who is responsible for what action. For example, if your partner says they will be home soon, and then they are not home until very late that night, you might be upset. However, your definition of ‘soon’ may be different from theirs, and the misunderstanding lies in not having communicated clear expectations.
 
Most conflicts are caused by misunderstandings. By learning to communicate with clarity and directness, you can avoid at least 10 conflicts a day. Determining the source of the misunderstanding is step one in resolving any current conflict. Pair that with communicating clearly and directly, and you are on your way to clearer communication and healthier relationships. 
 
Quotes
• “Most conflicts happen because of a misunderstanding.” (3:09-3:13 | Alejandra) 
• “Sometimes, and this is perhaps the most common way misunderstandings happen, we simply don't communicate clearly.” (6:25-6:33 | Alejandra)
• “Misunderstandings also happen when someone says something that was not meant to hurt you in any way, but the way you heard it does evoke hurt in you, because what the other person said or didn't say or didn't do didn't meet your unspoken expectations.” (7:36-7:58 | Alejandra)
• “The remedy, when you realize you're heading into conflict, is to, number one, find the misunderstanding. And number two, communicate clearly and directly.” (11:10-11:24 | Alejandra)
• “While it's simple to use clear, specific and direct language, or share our expectations in advance, communicating clearly can be uncomfortable.” (13:13-13:24 | Alejandra)

93. The Role of Equity in Intimate Relationships

“You are communicating equity with your partner when both of you respect and value each other's communication styles,” explains host Alejandra, transformative communication teacher and coach. Today, Alejandra discusses the value of communicating equity in your intimate relationship. She shares 10 indicators to evaluate whether there is equity within your current relationship as well as six ways to know when equity is lacking.
 
When there is a lack of equity within a couple, this often leads to the breakdown of the relationship. Relationships thrive on healthy communication that accounts for mutual respect. To communicate with equity, consider your partner’s emotional landscape and communication style before approaching them for a discussion. If you notice that there is a lack of respect in your partnership, or you feel like one of you is not having your communication needs considered, then that could be a sign that equity is missing. 
 
A healthy and mature partnership exists when the couple communicates with equality and equity from a place of shared power. If you and your partner take the time to consider each other’s individual needs and preferences while communicating, then you likely have equity in your intimate relationship. 
 
Quotes
• “While equality is a beautiful value because everybody has access to the same thing, it might not be enough.” (3:49-3:56 | Alejandra)
• “You are communicating equity with your partner when both of you respect and value each other's communication styles.” (8:08-8:15 | Alejandra)
• “When there's an absence of equity in the communication with your partner, you or your partner make fun of, disrespect, or devalue each other's needs, experiences, feelings, communication styles, cultural practices, trauma, information processing style, decision making style, social interaction levels. And you or your partner hold all of the above against each other.” (10:02-10:33 | Alejandra)
• “When a couple I worked with broke up, it was usually because of lack of equity in the relationship.” (12:06-12:11 | Alejandra)

92. Be Sure Equality Is Present in Your Partnership

“The values of equity and equality have to do with how we relate to power. And in every intimate relationship power can be held by one person, and it can also be shared,” explains host Alejandra, transformative communication teacher and coach. Today, Alejandra discusses how to establish equality in communication with your partner.
 
When equality is present in your partnership, you and your partner have the same rights and responsibilities. You treat one another as equals and there is no power imbalance. When equality is not present, your partner may have more rights than you and you may feel uncomfortable expressing your feelings. Or the opposite could be true, you may have more rights, where your partner has more responsibilities. In order to improve your intimate relationship with your partner, aim to communicate in a way that prioritizes equality. As an example, if you talk for 5 minutes, then your partner gets that same amount of time to talk as well.
 
To have a healthy and mature partnership, power needs to be shared. If you are both conscious and intentional about sharing power, holding space for each other to express yourselves, and taking equal responsibility for conflict, then it is likely that equality is present in your partnership. However, if the opposite is the case, then it may be time to evaluate your communication and see where you can begin to incorporate equality. 
 
Quotes
• “The values of equity and equality have to do with how we relate to power. And in every intimate relationship, power can be held by one person and it can also be shared.” (4:33-4:46 | Alejandra)
• “If you want to have a healthy and mature conscious partnership, there needs to be shared power. And shared power happens when your communication has both equity and equality.” (5:22-5:37 | Alejandra) 
• “When you have equality in your communication with your partner, you both have the same rights and responsibilities.” (7:56-8:02 | Alejandra)
• “It's very hard to have intimacy and deep connection with your partner when you don't feel that you are equals.” (11:01-11:08 | Alejandra)

91. How to Be Trustworthy

“When you communicate in alignment with your values, when you say what you call yourself, you will feel grounded, capable, because those words have taken residence within you and others will trust you,” shares host Alejandra, transformative communication teacher and coach. Today, Alejandra discusses how when you engage in communication in alignment with your values, it helps others trust you. 
 
Alejandra explains that she struggled at first with referring to herself as a teacher and even more so with calling herself a coach. When she read The Prophet by Khalil Gibran, it completely changed her perspective. Khalil wrote about how teachers are people who guide their students home. This helped Alejandra connect her own core values to the word teacher, as she guides her clients on a path of transformation. When you fully embody who you say you are and the words you choose to call yourself, then others will be more inclined to trust you.
 
Take a moment to think about what words you would use to describe yourself. How do these words make you feel? Do you feel comfortable using them? If not, really evaluate why that is and see if there is another definition for the word or even another word that would feel more aligned with your values. When you can communicate in alignment with your core values, others will see that in how you are showing up in the world and will trust you. 
 
Quotes
• “When you're not embodying what you're calling yourself, it’s harder for others to trust you or trust your value.” (3:15-3:22 | Alejandra) 
• “Even though I helped others communicate in alignment with their values, I didn't always talk my walk. I hid behind other people's communication methods.” (12:34-12:45 | Alejandra)
• “That word coach took me even more years to accept. I will admit that I was so allergic to that term, and that's because I had this image of a sports coach yelling at kids.” (13:35-13:49 | Alejandra)
• “One of the meanings of ‘coach’ is a carriage, a kind of vehicle that takes people on a journey. And when I learned about that meaning of ‘coach’, that word started to resonate with me.” (15:02-15:17 | Alejandra)
• “When you communicate in alignment with your values, when you say what you call yourself, you will feel grounded, capable, because those words have taken residence within you and others will trust you.” (18:23-18:38 | Alejandra)
