Have you ever been fine one minute… and then a smell, a song, a place, or a date pulls you right back to a moment of loss? That sudden wave of emotion is real, it’s called a grief trigger or emotional flashback.

In this episode of Embrace and Evolve with Cassie, I’m breaking down:

• What grief triggers and emotional flashbacks are
• Why they happen
• How they can affect you physically and emotionally
• Practical tools to ground yourself when they hit

We’ll talk through breathing techniques, grounding exercises, and simple mantras you can use in the moment so you can feel the emotion without being consumed by it.

Journal Prompt: “What grief trigger or memory still catches me off guard and what do I need in those moments?”

 Affirmation: “I honor my memories. I welcome healing. I allow my emotions to rise and pass like waves.”

Whether your grief is fresh or years old, this conversation will remind you: triggers are not weakness, they’re proof of love.
