In this episode, we dive deep into the tension between emotional triggers and personal responsibility. From Kevin McCall’s raw revelation that wealth doesn’t shield you from life’s unpredictability, to Gucci Mane’s candid conversation with The Breakfast Club about his mental health journey—we explore how healing begins with honesty.

I also reflect on the books I’ve read this week: Kamala’s 107 Days, A Promised Land by Barack Obama, and Matriarch by Tina Knowles. Each story offers a unique lens on leadership, legacy, and the emotional labor of showing up—especially when triggered.

Three ways to take responsibility even when triggered:

• Pause before reacting: Give yourself space to respond, not explode.

• Own your patterns: Recognize when past wounds are shaping present behavior.

• Communicate with intention: Speak from truth, not trauma.

Let’s talk about what it means to be emotionally honest and accountable. Because growth isn’t just about feeling—it’s about choosing.
