In the “How to Stop Self-Sabotaging When Dating” episode, Triggered AF hosts, Alechia & Dani get honest about all the ways in which we sabotage ourselves when we’re dating.

Treat yourself so well that anytime you’re treated contrary to what is your norm or standard, you can course correct. You’ll be waiting a long time hoping for others to validate your importance in the world. So, first start with you!

May all your delulu come trululu. In the episode of “Using Delusion to Create an Inspired Life,” we focus on the power in transforming your reality through astronomical thinking. Delusion is essential in shifting your mindset. You cannot allow the expectations and opinions of others to dictate your life and the vast opportunities it holds. Everyone has different experiences in life, and there is no right or wrong answer in these experiences. Another person’s experience – although true for and to them – does not have to be your reality. Create a delusion that is supportive of your purpose regardless of what others think you may or  may not be able to accomplish. Remember, your delusion serves as an armor for your dreams.

In the “How to Improve your Money Mindset” episode, former Wall Street analyst and founder of Empify, Ashley M. Fox, describes how simply putting yourself in certain spaces can create the opportunity to expand your life. You must create an abundant mindset in order to attract abundance. We attract who we are and not what we want; therefore, training your mind to believe you are worthy of things is essential to accomplishing your goals. Ashley dives into the alignment of priorities in order to create generational wealth and invest in your future. Those that are wealthy subscribe to the mentality that they are deserving of wealth. You must feel like you are worthy of the lifestyle that you desire to bring it to fruition. 

KEY POINTS:

• You have to put yourself in uncomfortable places to become comfortable. 

•  Trust that you know yourself better than    anyone else.

•  Do not allow others’ stories or experiences to determine your reality.

•  Remove the psychological blocks and words from your mind that hold you back.

•  Wealth does not have a benchmark.

•  Investing is not an option, it is a standard.

QUOTABLES:

“You don’t attract what you want, you attract who you are.”

“Your talent can get you into places that your character can kick you out of.”

“If you have the money to spend on a company, you have enough money to invest.”

“Learn the rules so you can break them like an artist.”

“You cannot save your way to wealth.”

In the “What Self Love Looks Like in IRL” episode, Triggered AF co-hosts got even more honest about the flaws they’re still working through and the actions they’re taking to work through them. It is absolutely okay to decide exactly what works for you and stand in that. Alechia and Dani got very real and provided a number of practical solutions and tools that can be used to overcome the challenges our flaws present. 

SPONSORED BY:

Dating Well AF Course, visit to learn more: http://datingwellaf.com

KEY POINTS:

• Some things that we sometimes see as flaws aren’t always flaws. Sometimes it just won’t work in the space we’re trying to put it in. 

• Way too many people say they’re “working on it,” and yet take no actionable steps to actually work on it.

• Many times we revert, the goal is to determine what you do after you revert.

QUOTABLES:

“It can be very difficult to submit after so many years of having to figure it out on our own.”

“America has hardened women, so many of them think they have to leave in order to be soft.”

“We’re all trying to figure out a new normal and it can cause a lot of head butting.”

Triggered AF Podcast is produced by Triggered Media Group.

This episode is a little different and was hosted with a studio audience in New York, NY at Brace Life Studio. Conversing with Nikkia McClain, Unique Matthews, and Amber Lee Forrester at Triggered AF’s first live event, The Evolve Experience, was hilariously open, honest, and perspective shifting. Each of these dynamic women provided tools to help us identify and move through the blockages that keep us stuck. It is absolutely ok to wake up and decide that you want to create a better version of yourself. And identifying and addressing the past experiences that helped create these blockages is the first step to overcoming them.

We are powerful enough to recreate our own reality and rewire our thought process. The mental blockages connected to certain things and people serve as reminders for the work we still need to do. Remember, stop advocating for your limitations. Hold yourself accountable and take actions that enable you to evolve.

KEY POINTS:

• Recognize what you want to change and what triggers those unhealthy habits. 

• Find ways to release the suppressed energy inside of you. Create conscious changes that compliment healthier habits. 

• Make decisions to adjust the things you internalize rather than completely eliminating the things that satisfy you.

QUOTABLES:

“Many of our relationships are mirrors of who we are” 

“Either you’ll pay now or you’ll pay later.”

“Stop advocating for your limitations!”

“Forget everything you thought you knew about food and be willing to start over.”

In “The Road Less Traveled” episode, Caryn Ward Ross, award-winning award-winning actress, producer, and writer emphasized that sometimes you figure out who you are by figuring out who you are not. As the founder of Main Character Energy University and the creator of the transformative (Re) Write Your Life Story Method™️, she encouraged us to allow yourself the space and grace to figure out who you are not because it fine-tunes who you are supposed to be. When no one chooses you, you choose you. Failure is not final, and as long as you’re living you have another opportunity to create a life that works for you. Our pain is not just for us. When we master and come through it, we become a distribution site for healing and transformation for other people. Use your insight to hold the vision of who you are and don’t always lean into your eyesight — that’s holding the vision of who you are. 

KEY POINTS:

• Sometimes we discover more of who we are by experiencing who we are not.

• When it’s now or never, choose now. 

• When you allow others to dictate your life, you become a supporting character in your own life. 

• Hold the vision of who you are! That’s insight, not eyesight. 

QUOTABLES:

“Sometimes we discover more of who we are by experiencing who we are not.”

“If you’re not willing to fail and mess up how will you know when it looks and feels right?”

“If it’s going to be then it’s up to me.”

“Our pain is not just for us. When we master and come through it, we become a distribution site for healing and transformation for other people.”

In the “How to Have a Better Relationship” episode, the founder of Brace Life Studios, Robert Brace, gave tools to help us navigate the challenges that come with romantic relationships. No one teaches you how to be a good partner and way too many of us are just winging it.

This conversation helps to provide the tools to show up as better people for our partners. Getting curious and putting our ego to bed in order to communicate more effectively sounds easy, but has been proven to trip many of us up. Healthy relationships don’t happen by accident, nor do they happen overnight, our commitment to it changes the experience.     

KEY POINTS:

• Once we get in our own heads it’s easy to confirm whatever bias we have in our minds.

• If you’re judging while your partner is explaining how they’re feeling then your energy is spent on your judgment versus the curiosity of why they feel the way they do.  

• Feeling like a simp a lot of times comes from the feeling of having to keep doing without ever receiving also.

• Lay your ego down and remain curious.

• When you dismiss your partner’s effort it shuts them down and makes them less available to you emotionally.

• Natural is whatever you decide it to be.

QUOTABLES:

“Depth requires energy. Take the time to replenish yourself.”

“Learn to listen through your own judgment.”

“Stay curious because that’s when you begin to better understand each other.”

“If you want something that’s going to last and go deep you’re going to have to make some commitments to it.”

In the “How to End Your Fight With Food” episode, the founder of Escape from Emotional Eating, Jessica Procini, provides tools to tackle one of America’s most prevalent issues today – our food. Our relationship with food exists on a spectrum – whether we’re using it in a healthy way or abusing it. Taking steps to bridge the gap between your relationship with food right now and your ideal relationship with food is more effective than measuring food by quantity. 

Food affects both the mental and physical aspects of our life, and the goal is to become an expert on yourself. We get so caught up in the ‘what are we eating?’ and judging that, but the stuff behind the what and the relationship we have with food is where we begin to transform and change.

KEY POINTS:

• Taking steps to bridge the gap between your relationship with food right now and your ideal relationship with food is more effective than measuring food by quantity.

• The root of emotional eating is usually connected to deeper issues. 

• Identifying your current relationship and your ideal relationship with food is the beginning of creating healthier eating habits. 

• What we eat and how we eat are connected to different parts of our lives. 

QUOTABLES:

“Food is just a symptom. We have to be willing to go beyond it to heal [the problem].” 

“Issues with food have very little to do with food itself and more to do with our patterns and habits.”

“Our relationship with food and our relationship with ourselves is a long term journey.”

“In order to experience true joy, it also means that we have to experience this variety of emotions.” This episode is a little different and was hosted with a studio audience in New York, NY at Brace Life Studio. Conversing with Dr. Jennifer Mullan, of Decolonizing Therapy at Triggered AF’s first live event, The Evolve Experience, was life-altering. Dr. Jennifer helped us to begin to unpack the different ways to identify and release our rage. It is essential to acknowledge what is and be intentional about finding places and spaces where you can be revitalized. 

Sometimes rage gets a bad rap. There are different layers of rage and acknowledging ways to rejuvenate yourself so that these past experiences are not controlling us is vital. Find ways to include compassion and grace within your life's experiences that may trigger rage. Learning how to release your rage in healthy ways helps you to remain in control. 

KEY POINTS:

• Events like colonization and historical trauma have an impact on everything and everyone surrounding us. Most traumatic events are associated with these events. The lack of love and affection we all deserve is missing from our everyday lives. If a situation begins controlling you, remove yourself before it escalates.

• When trauma happens it didn’t just verbally happen, your body had a response and it keeps the score. And if it’s keeping score it needs a way to release some of that pain in order for it to start to heal. 

• Anything related to trauma is like a mirror being held. And it requires people to self-reflect and not everyone is ready to look at things that are buried or are painful so it’s important to meet people where they are. 

• Anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and illness manifests when we keep swallowing our emotions versus having a conversation or admitting we need help.

QUOTABLES:

• “Find ways to release rage in a healthy manner.” 

• “We do better together than separated”

• “The stigma of people thinking we’re weak many times keeps us from seeking or asking for help.” 

• “Don’t only just stuck in what feels good or bypassing [your emotions] and jumping to what feels good.”
