How to Respond Instead of React

In today’s episode, I share why intelligence means nothing without service—and how using it to be more interested than interesting creates real human connection. I walk through the moment fear takes over, what it does to our chemistry, and why reaction is instant but response is a choice. I explain how ego creates interference, how to spot it fast, and why the solution to fear is always the same: stop, drop, and roll. We also explore the difference between transition and expansion, how to spot partners worth your time, and why gratitude and awareness shrink the distance between struggle and growth.
