About this listen

You’ve seen them on mugs, mirrors, and sticky notes — “I am enough,” “I am loved,” “I can do hard things.” Cute, right? But what if there’s actual science behind all that positivity? Spoiler alert: there is.

I’m Mia, host of Finding Peace 101 — a podcast that mixes science, soul, and just the right amount of sass to help you build a more peaceful, intentional life. Today, we’re diving into the surprising psychology of affirmations — why they work, how to use them right, and what happens when you stop treating them like fluff and start treating them like a tool.

Inside this episode:

  • The science behind affirmations — from brain scans to stress studies.
  • How affirmations shape your habits, mindset, and emotional resilience.
  • Step-by-step tips for writing your own affirmations that actually land.
  • How to stop rolling your eyes and start believing what you say.
  • And the one “awkward” affirmation that changed everything for me.

By the end, you’ll know exactly how to talk to yourself in a way that lifts, heals, and motivates you — without feeling fake or forced.

Because peace doesn’t start with meditation or mindfulness… it starts with your words.
