S4 E2 From Reaction to Responsibility: The Choice That Changed Everything


Listen Later

In this episode, Jyee Byrne unpacks the principle that changed everything for him: Between stimulus and response, there is a space. Drawing from Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The 8th Habit, Jyee explores the shift from reactive patterns to conscious leadership—and why this is the invisible thread running through The Triggered Wolf, even if it wasn’t named directly.
This isn’t about blame. It’s about ownership. About recognizing that real power doesn’t come from control, performance, or pushing through—it comes from presence, and the ability to choose your response when life hits hard.
If you’ve ever been on autopilot, lashed out under pressure, or chased achievement that left you feeling empty, this episode is for you.
