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.
Respond
Dating Isn't Working. Start Here.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dating feels different right now. More confusing. More exhausting. More activating.
In this episode, Samantha Reigle, doesn’t give dating tips or a strategy to “find the one.” She talks about something deeper like the moment where dating stops being about the other person and starts being about a pattern.
Why do you lose interest when someone is actually consistent?
Why does anxiety spike right when things start going well?
Why do mixed signals pull you in instead of push you away?
Why does calm sometimes feel like “no spark”?
From a conflict perspective, these moments aren’t random. They’re portals or thresholds between familiar patterns and new ways of responding.
She explores:
- Why attraction often moves toward what’s familiar, not what’s healthy
- How intensity can get confused with meaning
- What anxiety after a few dates is actually signaling
- How to handle ghosting or inconsistent communication without losing yourself
- Whether opting out of dating is alignment… or avoidance
- How to experiment with new responses without forcing outcomes
This episode isn’t about getting it right. It’s about noticing the choice point — and deciding whether to repeat the same loop or respond differently.
