Ever wish you could hit “pause” before saying or doing something you regret? In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the science, psychology, and real-world power of pausing, and why your most reactive moments might be keeping you stuck.
From Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl’s wisdom to cutting-edge neuroscience, you’ll learn why the space between stimulus and response is where your true growth happens. Discover how reactivity hijacks your brain, and how simple tools like breathwork, mindfulness, and journaling can literally rewire you for better choices.
Whether you’re in your 20s navigating relationships or in your 50s trying to level up emotionally, this episode offers powerful, practical tools to help you pause with purpose and respond like the version of you that’s growing, not just surviving.
