Um…. so… today, we are…uh… going to be talking about…filler words!

You know what these words are. Our favourite “Uhh…” or “Like…” or “You know…” as you stall for time when you’re thinking about what to say to someone.

We have all probably been told to cut the filler words. They can make us sound unprepared, less confident, and distracted. But are they all bad? Or could there be a reason our brains love tossing in an “um” every now and then?
