Summary

What happens when your values are tested in real-time—no script, no prep, and no exit ramp?

In this vulnerable solo episode of Passion Struck, John R. Miles shares a deeply personal moment of conflict inside his hurricane-damaged home—an unexpected confrontation that became a defining test of presence, identity, and leadership.

Out of that storm came a powerful framework: The R.E.A.C.T. Method. Built for the moments when your nervous system is flooded and your instincts scream for control, this 5-step tool helps you pause, return to center, and lead from who you are, not what you're feeling.

And if that framework sparked something in you—if you're thinking, “This is exactly what I need, but I’m not sure I’ll remember it in the moment…”—I’ve got something for you.

I created a free R.E.A.C.T. Companion Guide inside The Ignition Room on Substack.

It’s packed with:

Real-life language to use when you’re triggered
Journaling prompts to unpack your reactions
A printable one-sheet to keep visible—on your desk, fridge, or even in your wallet

If you want to train your nervous system to respond, not just react—

👉 you can grab it now at theignitedlife.net.
