In a world that feels loud, fast, and emotionally charged, it’s easy to mistake intensity for truth—and urgency for clarity.

In this episode of Getting Through the Week, Dr. KellyRae explores why feeling strongly doesn’t always mean we’re right, and how our nervous system—designed for survival, not discernment—can drive reactions when fear or collective urgency takes over.

Through relatable, real-life examples—from social media mob mentality to everyday moments of stress—this episode gently unpacks the difference between reacting and responding, and why regulation must come before action.

You’ll learn:

Why urgency can feel morally convincing

How activation spreads quickly in groups and online spaces

The hidden cost of acting without clarity

Simple ways to pause, ground, and choose steadiness instead

This episode isn’t about disengaging from the world.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, reactive, or pulled to respond before you’ve had time to breathe, this conversation is for you.
