Um, Like, You Know: Why We Fill the Space
Um… like… you know… why do we do that? This week on The Whole Woman Podcast , Kim and Rachel are talking filler words: the ums, likes, you knows, repeats and random phrases that sneak into everyday conversation. What starts as a funny look at the words that drive us crazy turns into a conversation about confidence, public speaking, active listening, emotion and why silence can feel so uncomfortable. Rachel shares what Toastmasters taught her about becoming a better speaker, while Kim admits what podcast editing has taught her about the words she apparently says ALL. THE. TIME. Your turn: What’s your filler word? And which one makes you absolutely crazy? Then head over to Substack , where we’re taking the conversation a little deeper and asking what might happen if we stopped trying to fill every quiet space. Subscribe there for more from The Whole Woman and the stories and reflections that continue after the microphones turn off.
