In this powerful and perspective-shifting episode of Blowing the Lid, Cleris Sanchez breaks down a truth we don’t talk about enough: your reaction holds more weight than the actual problem.
Whether it’s spilled milk, a miscommunication with your partner, or a stressful moment with your kids, Cleris shares how learning to respond instead of react is one of the most life-changing forms of self-leadership. She opens up about how she now speaks from calm and compassion—even in the chaos—and how this shift has impacted her home, her relationships, and her peace.
This episode is for the woman who’s ready to break old cycles, stop apologizing for her reactions, and start leading from the version of herself she’s becoming.
