Not Anymore!

Episode 18: Most Generous Interpretation - How to Stop Reacting and Start Connecting


Listen Later

Ever felt hijacked by frustration when someone triggers you—your child yelling, your teen snapping, or a stranger driving painfully slow in front of you? You’re not alone. But what if there was a simple mindset shift that could change everything?

In this episode, I share one of my favorite tools I learned from Dr. Becky at Good Inside—MGI: Most Generous Interpretation. It’s a game-changing practice that softens your body, opens your heart, and rewires your thoughts toward compassion instead of conflict.

You’ll hear real-life examples—from parenting teens under pressure, to navigating daily frustrations—and learn how to apply this tool to build empathy, lead with connection, and stop the cycle of reactive emotions.

Plus, I share the wisdom of the two arrows from Joseph Nguyen’s Don’t Believe Everything You Think, reminding us that while we can’t control what happens to us, we can choose how we respond.

Because connection always comes first. 💛
