YOUR TRIGGER IS A TEACHER EP: 167
Thank you for being a listener. Kindly give us a review.
In this episode of Michael Hicks: The Liv2Thrive Podcast, Michael breaks down the real truth about triggers, why they feel so powerful, and how they quietly hijack your relationships, confidence, discipline, and peace. This isn’t “soft talk” and it’s not blame. It’s the Liv2Thrive reframe: your trigger is a signal, not a sentence.
You’ll learn why being “triggered” isn’t a personality trait, how stress and unresolved identity wounds amplify your reactions, and why the goal isn’t perfect emotional control. It’s capacity: the ability to stay grounded, lead yourself, and choose truth over feelings when life pokes the bruise.
Michael also speaks directly to the “strong one who’s tired,” the leader who’s overwhelmed, and the person who keeps saying “I’m fine” while internally spiraling. If you’ve been stuck in cycles of overreacting, shutting down, people-pleasing, anger, anxiety, or emotional exhaustion, this episode will challenge you and give you clarity on what’s really happening beneath the surface.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
What triggers actually are (signal + story + identity pressure)
Why stress makes your fuse shorter and your reactions louder
How unhealed pain turns small moments into big explosions
The difference between valid feelings and reliable truth
Why isolation, guilt, and shame keep triggers in charge
The Liv2Thrive mindset shift that helps you respond instead of reacting
If this episode hits home, share it with someone who’s been feeling reactive, stretched thin, or disconnected from who they really are.
