Observing Before Reacting: The Skill That Saves Relationships

Description

When emotions run high, most people react from their wounds, not their wisdom. The result? Miscommunication, spiraling arguments, and a lot of "fixing" that doesn't actually solve anything.

Whether it's your partner blowing up over a text you didn't answer fast enough or you shutting down the second you feel criticized, these moments aren't about the present, they're about old patterns. And unless you learn to recognize them, you'll keep recycling the same conflicts.

In this solo episode, I break down my coaching approach: how I listen for the beliefs behind your words, why I see emotional reactions as inner child moments, and how curiosity can change the whole conversation.

You'll learn:

  • Why coaching isn't about fixing you (because you're not broken)

  • How language reveals the beliefs driving your behavior

  • The "inner child lens" for understanding emotional reactions

  • Why curiosity > defensiveness in conflict
