I Let My Emotions Take Over… And It Cost Me//In today’s video, I’m breaking down the difference between reacting and responding—and why learning this one skill can protect your peace, support your healing, and even open the door to better communication with your adult child.
We’ll talk about: ✔️ Why reacting can make things worse
✔️ How to create space before responding
✔️ What it looks like to respond with clarity, grace, and emotional strength
✔️ How this shift can bring peace in the middle of uncertainty
This message is for every mom who wants to show up with strength, wisdom, and love—even in the most painful situations.
