Ep112 - Umm, Like, Literally, Sooo...

Ever catch yourself overusing a word and suddenly can’t unhear it? What if your filler words are quietly shaping how people perceive you — and how you see yourself? In this episode, Dallas Amsden hits record immediately after wrapping the last episode... because he caught himself saying “literally” literally way too many times. And that moment turned into a full-on communication lesson — mixed with humor, insight, and a clear path toward your FUTURE YOU. Whether you're a communicator, leader, or simply want to show up with more clarity and intention, this one's for you.

IN THIS EPISODE:
- The power of noticing your speech patterns in real time
- Why filler words matter (and how they hold you back)
- Why self-awareness is a secret weapon for the FUTURE YOU
- How consistent reflection sharpens your communication game
- The behind-the-scenes of recording from the road

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- What you say reflects how you think
- Filler words aren’t harmless — they’re holding you back
- Self-correction in the moment builds better habits
- Your FUTURE YOU needs your voice to be clear, confident, and intentional
- Every small awareness moment is a step forward
