Triggered AF

Lightning only strikes once, and this episode is a true testament to that!

Always asking the hard questions, your Triggered hosts found themselves in a compelling dialogue on race with none other than their videographer, Tyler Warren! Believing EVERYONE should be part of the discussion about the racial challenges facing our country today, Alechia and Dani decided to bring Tyler out from behind the camera for this episode on all things race.

From mass shooters to being gaslit by the media to the indoctrination of racism, don't miss the uncomfortable questions we all need to be willing to ask and answer in this very real episode of Triggered AF.

KEY POINTS:

- What makes a mass shooter? Race, family, socioeconomic status?

- Do racism and slavery affect white people?

- Is it impossible for a white person to not be racist?

- How can we better educate each other on race?

QUOTABLES:

"I only know Black people from on TV. And according to the television, they're violent and crazy and ghetto and hypersexual. So when you don't have access to diversity, then what?"

"We've got to learn how we can not only coexist but work together so that we're building a global community of people who are not ashamed and shy away from differences. But who relish in them, who ask questions when they don't understand."

If you have joined the Triggered family before, you know Lola and Elsa - Alechia and Dani's low vibrational doppelgangers. And while your hosts have alluded to their lower vibrational selves before, in this episode, they take a deep dive into what it looks like when your lower self comes knocking at the door.

Sharing real scenarios of when Lola and Elsa took the wheel, tune in as your Triggered queens discuss why you must honor your lower vibrational self and examine what they could have done differently on their healing journey to figuring it all out!

KEY POINTS:

- How to recognize (and name!) your lower vibrational self

- Check-in with yourself - what are your highest triggers?

- Why you can't fight your lower vibrational self

- Creating a new default - what now?

- Who are Lola and Elsa?

QUOTABLES:

"I believe in allowing Lola, my lower vibrational self, to ride shotgun. And the reason I let her ride shotgun is because I need her there to help me identify the triggers."

"Because I am clear and aware of the fact that there is darkness in me that exists, I can choose. It is all about choice and personal accountability. I can choose to make a different decision."

Is it toxic to sleep with a man on the first date? Is dating, for men, about finding the right one or the right one at the right time? And is there a difference between a hoe and a f*ckboy?

Tune in and get toxic as your Triggered family welcomes Jerome Coleman - 12-year pro athlete, real estate investor, and creator of the "Vacay Experience." Sharing his path from hurt to healing, tune in as Jay spills the tea on all things toxic from a man's perspective. And flips the script on Alechia and Dani with his own questions!

KEY POINTS:

- Are only men toxic?

- What are the red flags some men chose to ignore?

QUOTABLES:

"Toxic is fun. It's unfortunate, but it's fun."

"If you're not ready physically, mentally, or financially, you shouldn't be dating for one, and you definitely can't have a wife. How are you going to maintain a household or anything of that nature when you're not there and ready to be there? Because it takes work."

When it comes to sex, "the wait" can be a daunting and exciting time. And with the outdated adage of waiting until marriage no longer the standard for many of us, the real question now is how long do we wait, and especially when it comes to someone we want to pursue?

Would you buy a car without driving it? Do you live every day as if it could be your last? Or do you believe in the beauty of delayed gratification? Tune in as your Triggered AF hosts get raw about sex and share their "been there, done that" two cents on the waiting game.

KEY POINTS:

- If we aren't waiting for marriage, how long are we waiting?

- Do you have p*ssy discipline or are you "dickmatized"?

- Is sex truly meaningless?

- Why freedom and discipline can go hand in hand

- Energetic transfers and cleansing - what does it mean to you?

QUOTABLES:

"There's so much value in waiting so that you don't get so distracted by how good the sex is that you can't see clearly who the person is."

"I'm really free, and I can make all these decisions. But with that freedom, I can have the discipline to be intentional and to make the decisions that best serve me."

"I'm black. I'm a minister. And I'm gay."

In this episode, your Triggered AF family continues to push the envelope with conversations that refuse to play nice as they welcome author, activist, actor, comedian, and minister of love Benjamin Carlton.

Tune in as Ben shares his story from preaching that homosexuality is wrong to being the self-described "biggest gay." Waking up and choosing to go against the grain every day, listen in as Ben speaks to releasing the narratives that caused him to self-hate and how embracing his own labels helped him step into his power and break free of the "box."

KEY POINTS:

- Do we need labels?

- How you love others is indicative of how you love yourself

- Releasing labels that were assigned to you but are not you

- Advice for those struggling with their identity and labels

- What is the better way toward label inclusivity?

- Living in your truth as it is NOW

QUOTABLES:

"When you have love for self, you have love for your brother. When you have grace, you have grace for your brother. I cannot force you to love me how I need to be loved if you don't love yourself first, and loving yourself is evident in how you love people."

"If you are living your life trying to please everyone, you will please no one."

"As we think about the spectrum of sexuality, the spectrum of identity, the spectrum of culture, all those things, we need to make space for people who move up and down the continuum."
