    How Honest Should You Be in a Relationship? Truth, Trust & Authenticity

    How honest should you be in a relationship? Is honesty always the best policy, or can telling the truth sometimes create conflict, hurt or even threaten the relationship? In this episode of Becoming Untriggered, we explore whether you are showing up as the same person in every area of your life, or whether old patterns, fear of rejection and the need for safety have taught you to become someone different depending on who you're with. Should you tell your partner everything about your past? How much should you share about who you were, the things you're ashamed of, and the experiences that shaped you? And when does being honest create deeper trust and connection, versus when do you need to process something for yourself before bringing it into the relationship? 01:45 – Honesty vs. Safety: Should You Always Tell the Truth? 04:25– Should Parents Tell Their Children the Truth? 06:25 – Should Your Children Know About Your Past? 10:50 – How Childhood Trauma Affects Honesty in Relationships 13:25 – How to Build Safety and Trust in a Relationship 20:35 – Becoming Your Authentic Self Can Feel Scary 24:50 – Should You Tell Your Partner Everything About Your Past? 29:25 – Can Telling the Truth Actually Hurt Your Relationship? 👉 For more support, connect with us on Instagram @becoming_untriggered_podcast – Resources:  Lavinia’s Making Peace with Your Past signature holistic healing programme: https://www.laviniabrown.com/making-peace-with-your-past Andrew’s 1-1 RESET Coaching Programme: https://www.andrewlynn.net/coaching Book a Deep Dive Relationship Recovery Session: https://calendly.com/d/ck3y-gzt-kbc/3hr-deep-dive-relationship-recovery-session –  📱 Connect with Lavinia:  https://www.laviniabrown.com  https://www.instagram.com/the.innerchild.healing.expert  https://www.facebook.com/the.innerchild.healing.expert  https://www.youtube.com/@the.innerchild.healing.expert 📱 Connect with Andrew:  https://www.andrewlynn.net https://www.tiktok.com/@modern_day_healer

    Have Our Leaders Been Hijacked by Their Wounded Inner Child?

    Why do some leaders seem reactive instead of regulated? Why does the news trigger anxiety? Why does the world feel so overwhelming right now? In this episode of Becoming Untriggered, we dive deep into why so much in the world feels chaotic, corrupted, and out of control, and what that has to do with unhealed childhood wounds. We explain the concept of conditional versus unconditional love, and how lacking true emotional safety in childhood can lead to self-worth being tied to achievement, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and external validation. You’ll also walk away with practical tools to manage fear, build safety in your body and relationships, and regulate your nervous system—so you don’t carry external chaos into your home and inner world.  This conversation is especially relevant if you’re struggling with anxiety, powerlessness, or just want to understand the emotional climate of our times. 00:30 – Are Leaders Acting from Childhood Trauma? 04:00 – Conditional vs Unconditional Love Explained 09:50 – How Lack of Self-Love Impacts Empathy: Trauma Patterns 12:30 – Reacting vs Responding (Emotional Regulation) 16:00 – Why the News Triggers Anxiety 20:15 – How to Heal Your Inner Child to Stay Regulated 👉 For more support, connect with us on Instagram @becoming_untriggered_podcast – Resources:  Lavinia’s Making Peace with Your Past signature holistic healing programme: https://www.laviniabrown.com/making-peace-with-your-past Andrew’s 1-1 RESET Coaching Programme: https://www.andrewlynn.net/coaching Book a Deep Dive Relationship Recovery Session: https://calendly.com/d/ck3y-gzt-kbc/3hr-deep-dive-relationship-recovery-session –  📱 Connect with Lavinia:  https://www.laviniabrown.com  https://www.instagram.com/the.innerchild.healing.expert  https://www.facebook.com/the.innerchild.healing.expert  https://www.youtube.com/@the.innerchild.healing.expert 📱 Connect with Andrew:  https://www.andrewlynn.net https://www.tiktok.com/@modern_day_healer

    Healing After Betrayal: How to Stop Repeating the Same Relationship Patterns

    Why do I keep ending up with the same type of partner? Why does betrayal hurt this much? Healing after betrayal isn’t just about letting go of what happened, it’s about understanding why the same patterns keep repeating. In this episode, we break down the deeper emotional and psychological layers behind betrayal, including attachment wounds, trauma bonds, and the unconscious beliefs that shape who we choose and why we stay. We explore why betrayal hurts so deeply, how childhood experiences influence our adult relationships, and why ignoring red flags becomes a familiar pattern. You’ll learn how to recognise the root of your pain, where your anger and resentment come from, and how to finally take back your emotional power without blaming yourself.

    The Path to Becoming Untriggered with Jane Hardwicke Collings

    How do rites of passage shape women’s lives? In this episode, midwife, teacher, and feminine wisdom keeper Jane Hardwicke Collings joins Lavinia Brown to explore how menstrual shame, birth trauma, and menopause have shaped women’s identities for generations, and how we can reclaim these rites of passage as sources of power, not pain. Learn what really happens when we don’t honor our transitions — from menarche (first period) to motherhood and menopause — and how these experiences silently teach us what our culture believes about women’s worth. Jane shares her life’s work guiding women to heal the wounded feminine, reclaim birth as ceremony, and restore connection to the body’s cycles as a pathway to freedom, wholeness, and intergenerational healing. 00:00 – Intro 02:00 – Why Rites of Passage Matter for Women and Men 06:00 – Menstrual Shame & Supporting Our Daughters 12:30 – Birth as Rite of Passage and Emotional Teacher 25:00 – The Wounded Sisterhood and How Patriarchy Divides Women 👉 For more support, connect with us on Instagram @becoming_untriggered_podcast – Resources:  Lavinia’s Making Peace with Your Past signature holistic healing programme: https://www.laviniabrown.com/making-peace-with-your-past Andrew’s 1-1 RESET Coaching Programme: https://www.andrewlynn.net/coaching Book a Deep Dive Relationship Recovery Session: https://calendly.com/d/ck3y-gzt-kbc/3hr-deep-dive-relationship-recovery-session –  📱 Connect with Jane:  www.janehardwickecollings.com www.schoolofshamanicwomancraft.com Instagram - @janehardwickecollings Facebook - ‘Jane Hardwicke Collings’ Spinning Wheels App (iPhone): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spinning-wheels/id1540698472?platform=iphone Spinning Wheels App (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=au.com.cocreations.moonsong&hl=en 'Dear Dad' blog: https://janehardwickecollings.com/dear-dad-an-open-letter-to-men-with-a-daughter-approaching-her-menarche-first-period/ 📱 Connect with Lavinia:  https://www.laviniabrown.com  https://www.instagram.com/the.innerchild.healing.expert  https://www.facebook.com/the.innerchild.healing.expert  https://www.youtube.com/@the.innerchild.healing.expert
