In this episode, Rachel talks about how you can distinguish the tigers in your life and better understand why we respond to them in the first place. She shares the four common immediate responses and how they often put us in a mindset for bad decisions. Whenever we meet a threat or irritation, we need to step back and ask, "is it a tiger?"

If you would like a quick tip on staying calm in the face of irritations and make better decisions even in the heat of staring down a tiger, stay tuned to this episode.

Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:

1. Understand the three types of threats that affect us — and which one is the tiger. 
2. Learn to distinguish what matters and understand our core boundaries. 
3. Discover how you can make better decisions independent of your reaction to tigers.
