This week, I overheard a moment in a store that made me smile and think at the same time.

A tween, clearly frustrated, looked at her mom and said, “Mom, you’re so extra. Stop crashing out on me.”

Translation for those of us not fluent in today's slang - “Mom, you’re overreacting.”

Most of us have been accused of overreacting, right? Not because we don’t care, but because we’re tired, stretched thin, and pulled in a dozen directions at once.

In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between reacting and responding, why reacting is automatic but responding is a skill, and how strengthening our response muscles can lead to calm over chaos and sanity over spiraling.

This is not about perfection. It’s about awareness, emotional intelligence, and learning how to stay in the driver’s seat even when life presses in.
