Ever felt overwhelmed by emotions that seem to take over before you can even process them? There’s a reason for that. Join me as I break down the Thought-Emotion-Action (TEA) Model, a simple yet powerful way to understand why emotions drive behavior and how to take back control. Using personal experiences, research, and real-world examples (including my dog’s silly obsession), I explore why emotions only last 90 seconds—unless we fuel them. The key to breaking reactive patterns isn’t suppressing emotions but becoming aware of how they shape thoughts and actions. Understanding this model shifts how we engage with ourselves and others, whether in parenting, leadership, or personal growth. Emotional control isn’t about avoiding feelings—it’s about mastering the cycle before it masters us.
