The Radiance Revolution of Relational Intelligence

A Love Note to Anyone Who’s Ever Felt Triggered by Another Human Being

For most of my life, I carried an invisible measuring stick into every conversation. If someone said something sharp, I felt it was about me. If a friend forgot to text back, I read it as rejection. If a neighbor seemed distant, I built entire stories about what I must have done wrong.

It was exhausting. And it quietly dimmed my light.

🌿 Awakening to a New Way

Recently, through my own season of deep reflection (sparked in part by a new program I’ll share more about soon), I’ve felt compelled to examine the way I navigate not just life, but also relationships. At the same time, I’ve been devouring the work of Vanessa Van Edwards and Jefferson Fisher, whose teachings on relational intelligence and conscious communication are opening my eyes to an entirely new way of connecting and being present as a human being in this beautiful world.

This isn’t about “fixing” people. It’s about understanding how we tick, staying curious instead of reactive, and learning how to keep our energy high and our hearts open—even in challenging conversations.

✨ What Relational Intelligence Really Is

Relational intelligence asks us to wake up inside our interactions. Instead of mindlessly drifting through small talk or reacting to every trigger, it calls us to:

• Listen on purpose. To hear not just words, but tone, body language, and the need beneath the surface.

• Respond from love and clarity. To choose words that heal rather than harm.

• Stand in sovereignty. To honor our own boundaries and truth while staying open-hearted.

• Stay energetically aware. To notice how each exchange affects our body and to regulate before we respond.

• 
  

It’s an active practice of being present, compassionate, and powerful all at once—a dance of kindness and self-respect.

✨ The Power of Staying Calm

Here’s what I’m discovering:

• Calm is contagious. When I breathe instead of reacting, I invite others into peace without a single word.

• Boundaries are not walls. Staying grounded doesn’t mean being walked on—it means choosing love over drama. And you are choosing your peace and sovereignty.

• Presence is power. By listening for the need beneath someone’s words, I connect beyond the surface.

  It’s hard work. It asks me to meet my own triggers with compassion instead of judgment. But on the other side of hard things lives the juicy nectar of life—deep connection, radiant health, and relationships that feel like soul food.

🌞 Energy Is Everything

This isn’t just communication. It’s energy work in real time. Every conversation is an opportunity to raise or lower our frequency. Your words are wonds, literally weaving magic with every one you say. When I choose a peaceful response, my nervous system stays regulated, my heart rate softens, and my body hums with life. This is the essence of my Radiance Revolution—living from a frequency that heals, uplifts, and expands.

An Invitation...

What if the next time someone pushes your buttons, you saw it as a sacred assignment? A chance to breathe, to witness, to choose your own energy before choosing your words. Imagine the ripple effect if more of us led with calm, compassion, and clarity.

The world doesn’t need more perfect people. It needs more radiant ones—humans willing to stay grounded and kind, even when it’s hard.
