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.

Breaking the Cycle of Violence: How Intentional Responses Can Transform Conflicts
Join host Samantha Reigle, an intuitive mediator with over two decades of experience, as she delves into the pervasive cycle of violence from personal and global perspectives. In this episode, Samantha examines the intrinsic patterns of conflict, questioning the instinct to retaliate and advocating for intentional, peace-driven responses. Through real-world examples, she explores cases like post-9/11 retaliations and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, urging negotiations and strategic actions over full-scale invasions. She empowers listeners to question societal norms, embrace creative problem-solving, and prioritize humanity over manufactured fear. Featuring listener questions on personal grievances related to military service and global violence, this episode highlights how each of us can break cycles of anger and destruction by choosing compassion and intelligent action.
