What if the words you use every day…without even realising it…are quietly shaping who your children believe they can become? Kate Mason sits down with communications expert, author, and mother of two boys, Kate Mason, to explore the hidden power of gendered language in parenting. From "be careful" on the playground to "give grandma a kiss," the two Kates unpack the subtle, everyday phrases that send very different messages to our sons and daughters…often without us even noticing. Drawing on research, real-life stories, and her new book Powerfully Likeable, guest Kate Mason offers parents practical insight and a simple but transformative question: Would I say this to the other gender?
