Transforming Shame Into Freedom With Erin Bonnell

1 hour 2 minutes

Brittny is joined by former client, friend, fellow entrepreneur, and hype gal Erin Bonnell. Erin has overcome some of life’s most challenging circumstances and through her healing journey she has learned valuable lessons + insights that she wishes to share with others. After having dreamed of starting her own business for years, she now operates her own online store where she creates custom clothing with intentional designs. Her designs are inspired by her own personal journey and the personal development work that Brittny teaches. She loves helping people embody the person they want to show up as by creating something that they can physically wear with intention.

Brittny and Erin discuss:

What a trigger is

Triggers versus re-triggers and why we get re-triggered

How to navigate a re-triggering

Ways to reconnect to your body and feel safe

Dissociation within your body and what it feels like

Getting curious and building awareness around triggers

How Erin went from triggered to freedom

Taking messy, imperfect action

How and why our body and brain will block us off from certain experiences
