Do you say "um," "like," or "so" more than you realize? In this episode, we break down why fillers creep into our speech and how they quietly undermine your credibility as a speaker. You'll learn the two main reasons fillers happen — an instinctive discomfort with silence, and a habit of stalling while you think — and why simply becoming aware of them is the first step toward eliminating them for good.

From there, we walk through a practical, low-cost method for training yourself out of the habit: the dog training clicker technique. You'll hear exactly how it works, why it's so effective at building self-awareness, and how to replace fillers with something far more powerful — the pause. By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear action step to start practicing immediately.
