In this episode, we with special guests Sherod Miller and Dan Lord explore another transformative element of the Awareness Wheel: recognizing and managing our reactions. Reactions are deeply rooted in our body and mind, and understanding them is a key step toward emotional balance and intentional action. 🌟 Learn how to identify reactions and navigate them with the Four R’s framework: 1️⃣ Recognize: Catch the reaction early and name it—""name it to tame it."" 2️⃣ Rebalance: Center yourself through mindfulness and breathwork to restore calm. 3️⃣ Reflect: Turn inward to analyze and understand what triggered the reaction. 4️⃣ Respond: Choose constructive actions that align with your values and goals. Through this process, you'll gain self-awareness, build a stronger connection between your mind and body, and cultivate the ability to respond with choice rather than react impulsively. 💡 Whether you're working on personal growth, emotional regulation, or mindfulness practices, this approach provides actionable steps for meaningful change.

When does a pattern of cheating signal a deeper issue like love or sex addiction? We dive into the key signs—obsession, compulsive behavior, using the affair as a coping mechanism—and the importance of identifying patterns across multiple behaviors.
