Why Do Certain People Get Under Your Skin?
(What Your Reactions Reveal About You)
Hosted by Jeremy de Tolly, featuring Katherine Sellery
About this Episode
Why do certain people trigger such strong emotional reactions in us? And what if those moments are opportunities to let go of old patterns?
In this episode of Radiant Voices, Jeremy de Tolly speaks with Katherine Sellery, leadership communication expert, conflict resolution specialist and founder of the Conscious Parenting Revolution, about the hidden patterns that shape how we communicate, relate and respond to others.
They explore how childhood conditioning influences our reactions, why blame keeps us stuck, and how learning to be present with difficult emotions can open the door to deeper self-understanding.
Katherine also shares how conscious parenting can help break generational patterns and create relationships where children feel heard, valued and empowered.
