This month’s episode explores one of the most universal solo mom experiences: getting triggered. From offhanded comments to emotional overwhelm, we dive into why these moments hit so hard, what’s really going on beneath the surface, and how to move through them with more clarity and compassion. Katie shares real-life examples from Village members, unpacks common solo mom triggers, and walks you through two powerful tools—the self-coaching model and her five-step trigger recovery roadmap. This episode is an invitation to bring more self-awareness, gentleness, and choice to the hard moments we all face.
