How do you react when someone cuts you off in traffic?

Or when they roll their eyes at something you said?

Annoyed? Hurt? Withdrawn? Maybe you try to fix it right away?

We all have that one reaction when we feel poked and boom. Your nervous system takes over.

Some of us will fight back.

Some run away.

Some freeze.

And some… try to please.

I call these our “F” types — and once you know yours, it changes everything.

In this week’s episode, we talk about:

• Why triggers hijack your body before your mind catches up
• The 4 F-types (Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn)
• How awareness starts to rewire your reactions for calm and connection.

This episode is one of those that leaves you saying, “Ohhh… that’s why I do that.”

Ready to spot your F-type in real time?
