In today’s episode of Unleashed After 40, I dive into a powerful insight that hit me while reading the Bible. The story of Mary at the wedding with Jesus (John 2) unlocked a lesson about the difference between reacting and responding—one that I’ve been personally experiencing in my own life.
For most of my life, I was the world's #1 reactor—quick to respond based on emotion, anxiety, and external circumstances. But in the last month, I’ve started making a shift. And what I’ve found is that responding puts me in a position of peace, power, and purpose.
In this episode, I share:
✅ The lesson Mary teaches us about faith over feelings
✅ Why reacting keeps us stuck in anxiety, anger, and aimlessness
✅ How shifting to responding can transform your mindset and your results
✅ A real-life example of how I almost missed out on wisdom because of a reaction
We were put on this earth to be creators, not reactors. Today, I challenge you:
Where in your life are you still reacting, and what would happen if you chose to start responding instead?
🔥 Let’s talk about it. Listen now and take control of your mindset!
