Overview: In this episode, Christine looks at the relationship between language, identity, and communication, sharing a story about her night with Wu-Tang. She also tells us how the Irish language was “battered out of” people with a special type of stick. As you celebrate International Mother Language Day, reflect on the significance of languages in shaping our perceptions, experiences, and cultural heritage.
Christine Considers:
Language and Identity: Language is not just a means of communication; it is deeply intertwined with our sense of self. But when does language shape our identity? Is it only our “mother tongue” or do second languages play a part?International Mother Language Day: Originating from the sacrifices made in Bangladesh in 1952 to preserve their language, this day emphasises the importance of linguistic diversity and cultural heritage.Neuroscience of Language: Research in neuroscience reveals how language shapes our thoughts and perceptions. From colour perception to concepts of agency and ownership, language influences how we experience the world.Bilingualism and Identity: Bilingual professionals often face pressure to conform to native English standards. Embracing linguistic diversity fosters understanding and inclusivity.Challenging Linguistic Divides: It's crucial to challenge societal attitudes that undermine linguistic diversity. By opening conversations and embracing curiosity about different languages and cultures, we promote solidarity and tolerance.Core Identity: Despite language adaptations, does our core identity remain unchanged? It's the essence of who we are, often transcending linguistic boundaries.Support the Podcast: https://bit.ly/Connected_Communication

Christine explores the nature of external influence and its impact on our intuition and decision making. Reflecting on a statement by Robbie Williams, she examines linguistic changes led by young women, judgmental attitudes towards such changes, and the importance of connecting the heart and mind to determine our own path forward. Christine also draws connections between St. Brigid's Day, the goddess Brigid's protective legacy in Ireland, and the theme of external influence.
CHRISTINE DISCUSSES:
Robbie Williams' comment about the impact of media criticism on his mental health.The Goddess Brigid, protector and healer and the lessons in her legacy. Negative criticism of young women who use "influencer speak" like vocal fry. How babies learn speech rhythm - and why judgement is natural. How connecting the heart and mind helps us stand up for what’s right. The detrimental impact of allowing external influences to override our intuition.BEST MOMENTS
"We are in an age of evolution – an evolution of women."
"Press speak, or the things the press were saying, broke his trust in himself. Austin Powers might have called it losing his mojo."
"Teenagers are risk takers. They’ll create new slang words, use upspeak or vocal fry, and add new filler words like 'like' into conversations."
"As non-sentient AI overwhelms communication mediums, the language of the heart will become more important than ever."
"It is the great person who, in the midst of the crowd, keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude."
"However you find yourself influenced, may you be able to turn your eye inward and never allow external influences to f*ck up your intuition."
