About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of the pause between trigger and response, offering insights and practical tools for better communication.
We've all been there — sent the text we shouldn't have, snapped at someone we love, said yes when we meant no. In this episode, we're talking about the one skill that could change all of that: the pause. That tiny gap between trigger and response, where everything is still possible. We break down the science, share some stories, and give you practical tools to actually use it.
