🧠 Episode Summary

Welcome to a new episode of the Slow English Podcast, your space to learn English in a calm, confident, and meaningful way.

In this session, Martin and Julia explore how the way you talk to yourself shapes your confidence, motivation, and ability to learn languages.

Based on How to Talk to Yourself by Roe Mitchell, this episode reveals how self-talk can either build or destroy your inner confidence — and shows how to transform that critical voice into your biggest ally.

You’ll learn to:

• Recognize negative thought patterns
• Reframe them using the power of yet
• Build affirmations that truly feel real
• Use breathing and mindfulness to calm your mind
• Create your own supportive inner coach
• Practice gratitude and forgiveness to stay resilient

This episode is not just about learning English.

It’s about learning to speak kindly to yourself — in any language.
