triggers - we love them. joking ... but also not. triggers, although aggravating at the moment, can clearly signal a larger issue and guide us to more self-awareness. in this solo episode, I share my experience with inner frustration, reactive tendencies, and the process of identifying the triggers in my life. 

I dive into my childhood impression of anger and triggers with a reactive parent + how I'm working to rewire my mindset now as an adult. this includes identifying physical triggers in my space; phrases/questions that disturb my inner peace, and creating space to pause in frustrating situations. tips and tricks to work through this process included would love to hear your thoughts on this all!
