“When you feel like your own feelings are running you over like a freight train, that’s when you know you have to slow down.” – Terri Cole

Intro

Have you ever reacted in ways you later regret? In this episode we’ll explore what emotional reactivity really is, why it’s often tied to old wounds and unmet needs, and how you can break free from the cycle.

You’ll learn practical tools to pause, breathe, set healthy boundaries, and respond with clarity instead of reacting on autopilot—building more peace, emotional intelligence, and self-respect in your daily life.
