Respond
A New Way to See Conflict
Hosted by longtime mediator and intuitive guide Samantha Reigle, Respond is your weekly reminder that discomfort isn’t the problem — it’s a portal that where you are no longer aligned with an invitation to grow.
Each episode explores the deeper beliefs and patterns shaping your responses and your reality. No more spiraling. No more sleepwalking. Just honest insight, grounded tools, and conscious shifts to help you move from reactive to rooted.
This isn’t therapy, it’s your invitation to respond with clarity, courage, and a life that finally fits.
