The Flashpoint Podcast

The Sh*t Show Plot Twist


Listen Later

Ever caught yourself saying, “This is the WORST thing that could’ve happened”?

Yeah, same here.

But what if it wasn’t?

What if the very thing you’re cursing today is setting you up for something you don’t even see yet?

In this episode, Erin tackles the deeply wired human tendency to label everything as good or bad and shows you how to reframe that story in real time. Using a powerful fable, mindset tools, and a little science on post-traumatic growth, she reminds us that meaning isn’t found after the mess, it’s created through it.

This one’s for anyone sitting in the sh*tstorm, wondering when (or if) it’s going to turn around.

Spoiler: You get to decide what the story becomes.

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Why your brain instantly labels things “good” or “bad” and how to interrupt that loop
  • The ancient fable Erin uses with clients to reframe life’s chaos
  • How post-traumatic growth actually works
  • Why language like “I get to” changes everything
  • What happens when you stop being a victim in your own life
  • Simple grounding practices to hit pause and regulate mid-storm
  • A mindset shift that could change your entire relationship with struggle

WHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR:

  • First responders facing burnout, injury, or unexpected detours
  • Spouses watching a loved one wrestle with the emotional fallout
  • Anyone stuck in the “this isn’t how I thought it would go” loop
  • Leaders who want to model resilience and radical honesty
