Remembering Your Inner Truth with Cacao Mama Tess Martin
This conversation with Cacao Mama Tess Martin cracked my heart wide open (of course it did). Not only did we share our love for cacao, Tess was happy to delve deep with me on the power of words to shape our reality. It’s wild how language shapes the way we see the world, and most of us are walking around completely unaware of how deep it goes.
This episode was like uncovering a hidden layer of reality—one where words are spells, and the stories we tell ourselves are either keeping us stuck or setting us free.
Words Are Spells (Literally)
Have you ever thought about how much weight everyday words carry? “Morning” (mourning), “weekend” (weakened), and even “hello” (oh hell)—they all have hidden layers that impact our subconscious. When we become aware of these linguistic spells, we can start consciously choosing words that uplift and empower rather than drain and deceive.
Your Mind is Being Programmed (Unless You Take the Wheel)
Words are like software running in the background, shaping our thoughts without us even realising it. Advertisers, politicians, and the media know this—they carefully craft phrases that stick, influencing how we see the world... and as a former broadcast journalist researching and writing the news every day, I can say that news and drama sells and that was it's only purpose.
The good news? Once you recognise this, you can rewrite the script. Language is a tool, and you get to decide how you use it.
The Three Principles: You’re Not As Stuck As You Think
If you haven't looked into Sydney Banks’ Three Principles, I highly recommend you do! We know our thoughts create our reality, not the other way around. When we stop believing every thought as truth, we create space to actually see clearly. This realization alone can shift how you move through life.
The Magic of Cacao and Ritual
I trained with Tess to facilitate my own cacao journeys. She has such a beautiful way of bringing things back to the heart, and cacao is a big part of that. It’s not just a trendy superfood; it’s a plant medicine that helps us drop out of the mind chatter and into our deeper knowing. A simple cacao ritual—setting an intention, drinking slowly, and really feeling into what your body is telling you—can be incredibly powerful for reconnecting with yourself.

Potent Epiphanies
“Words are spells; they either liberate or imprison us.”
“When our minds quiet, our hearts open.”
“Language is software for the mind. We can rewrite the program.”
We’re either unconsciously living out someone else’s narrative or we’re consciously choosing our own. The words we use, the thoughts we believe, and the way we speak to ourselves matters. A lot.
Begin with awareness. Listen to the words you say every day. Question them. Play with them. Rewrite them.
