About this listen

Welcome to Root Wordz, I’m Michelle Root, and on this podcast we will embark on a journey of self discovery while appreciating the complexities of language through etymology, the study of words.

Each episode, we will explore the origins of a specific word and how it can influence our well=being as a whole.

I want to help us dive into the intersections of language and life, so we can contribute to a common understanding.

Let’s uncover the power of language together!
