“Control language and you control thought; control thought and you control action; control action and you control the world.” -Peter Kreeft

If we understand the secret of language can we harness the almost ‘magical’ nature of words to influence our reality?

Most of us overlook how the spelling and sounds created by words might actually be manipulating how we think and act. Laurel Airica is one of those people who has recognized the immense power of language and has dedicated her life to upgrading the codex in order to enhance our collective existence.

She is a prolific poet, and it was an absolute delight to be in her presence during the show. Not only are the concepts explored on this podcast mind expanding and beautiful, you will never quite look at language the same again.
