Ever found yourself caught in the same argument, playing out the same reaction, saying the same things… again?

In this episode of The True North Aligned Life, Craig and Linda unpack what it really means to take a breath, create space, and consciously choose something higher — especially when you least feel like it.

When conflict hits, our default is to react. But reaction is just the recycled self, drawing on old patterns that never create what we truly want.

This episode is an invitation to pause. To recognise that the moment you're triggered is actually the moment you have the most power — the power to choose awareness over autopilot, and connection over chaos.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• The subtle but powerful choice that can interrupt old patterns instantly
• Why doing nothing consciously is sometimes the most transformational action
• What Craig calls “the dysfunctional dominoes” — and how to stop them falling
• How to start standing for a higher dynamic, even if you don’t yet know what that looks like
• Why self-awareness is step one — and why that first step is always the hardest

This is a foundational conversation for anyone ready to redefine how they show up in moments of tension, and create relationships built on consciousness, not conditioning.

If you’ve ever said, “Why do we keep doing this?” — this episode is for you.
