Episode 14- Why You Keep Overreacting (And How to Stop)

I traced my worst leadership habit back 20 years—and finally broke the pattern.

In this episode, I'm giving you The Trigger Map: a 4-column framework that transforms your worst business reactions into breakthrough self-awareness.

This isn't therapy. It's strategic emotional intelligence for leaders who are tired of being hijacked by old patterns.

After overreacting in a meeting—shutting down a team member who simply disagreed with me—I couldn't let it go. So I started mapping. The defensiveness. The need to be right. The control. It traced back to my military training. And deeper than that—to insecurity that preceded the military entirely.

That reaction had nothing to do with my team member. It was a 20-year-old wound running the show.

The intensity of your reaction is the clue. If you react at an 8 to a 3-level problem, there's a wound underneath.
