Episode 3: Name the Trigger (And What to Do Next)


Listen Later

Do you know how to figure out what’s actually triggering you — and what to do with it once you do?

Most of us can feel when something’s off. We just don’t have a process for tracing it back to the root. 

In this episode, I’m walking you through my exact methodology for naming a trigger, finding the pattern underneath it, and beginning to rewrite the story attached to it.

We’ll cover:

  • How to identify the emotion that’s actually coming up (not just the surface reaction)
  • The process for tracing a trigger back to a specific memory or pattern
  • What externalizing the problem means and why it’s a game changer for identity work
  • How to find the alternative story and start integrating it as a new identity

This is the how-to episode. Practical, personal, and built from real experience.
