    Unpacking Triggers: The Hidden Impact of Alcoholism on Our Psyche

    Have you ever been in a situation where your emotions completely hijack you? Maybe you're at a party, and someone’s stumbling around, slurring their words—meanwhile, your heart is racing, and all you want to do is get the hell out of there. The kicker? They’re not even doing anything to you directly, yet your reaction feels way bigger than the moment. That’s the power of emotional triggers. They aren’t random—they’re deeply tied to our past, often leading us straight to wounds we didn’t even know we had. In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story about how being around intoxicated people uncovered an emotional wound that had shaped me in ways I never realized. From growing up with an alcoholic parent to working in the nightclub industry to an unexpected conversation that changed everything, I take you through my journey of recognizing, understanding, and ultimately healing from this trigger. If you’ve ever struggled with unresolved childhood wounds, feelings of hyper-vigilance, or the weight of unspoken resentment, this episode is for you. We’ll explore why triggers act as roadmaps to healing, how to shift your perspective on past pain, and why facing your truth with compassion (not judgment) is the key to breaking free. Stick around till the end because I’m leaving you with a powerful journal prompt to help you unpack your own emotional triggers.

We’ll explore how journaling can become a powerful tool for self-healing, and I’ll share insights on moving from partial forgiveness to truly letting go. This episode is all about breaking down the barriers that are holding you back from the freedom you deserve. It’s time to embrace self-compassion and rewrite the narrative you’ve been carrying about yourself. Before you hit play, I’ve got a few questions for you to reflect on: 1. What’s the hardest part of forgiving yourself? 2. Have you tried journaling to work through your emotions? 3. How much of your guilt is tied to societal expectations? 4.

    Self-Compassion and Inner Child Healing: Embracing Our Mistakes

    Hey there, welcome to The Wolverine Lifestyle Podcast. I’m Dillon, and in this episode, I want to talk about something we all face but rarely unpack: those limiting childhood beliefs that still hold us back. Let me ask you something—have you ever found yourself replaying the same mistakes in your head, like a bad movie you just can’t turn off? Maybe you’ve caught yourself thinking, “I should’ve done better” or “Why do I keep messing this up?” You’re not alone. Today, I’m sharing my own journey of working through these moments and the surprising discoveries I’ve made along the way. For years, I was my own worst critic, constantly measuring myself against unrealistic standards and feeling like I wasn’t enough. But what I’ve realized is this: self-compassion—not endless criticism—is what leads to real growth. In this episode, I’ll unpack why childhood beliefs about mistakes can feel so heavy, why men especially struggle with self-judgment, and how I’ve learned to shift my mindset to embrace mistakes as opportunities to learn. I’ll also share practical tools that you can use to quiet your inner critic and reconnect with yourself in moments of self-doubt. So, how do you treat yourself when you make a mistake? And what do you think your inner child needs to hear from you in those moments? Let’s explore this together. If you’ve been searching for clarity and connection, this is your episode. Let’s dive in. Poll Questions for Reflection: What do you usually tell yourself when you make a mistake? How do you feel when you think about past mistakes? What would your younger self need to hear right now? Have you ever thought of reframing mistakes as lessons? What’s one step you can take today to show yourself more compassion?

    Welcome to The Wolverine Lifestyle Podcast. I’m your host, Dillon Andres, and in this first episode, I’m sharing something deeply personal—how a simple childhood phrase shaped my life in ways I never expected. This episode is inspired by one of my own journal prompts: What is a childhood memory that still lingers in your mind, and how has that memory shaped who you are today? For me, it was hearing the words “Don’t get your hopes up” over and over again as a kid. I didn’t realize it at the time, but those words planted a belief that affected my relationships, career, and even how much happiness I allowed myself to feel. In this episode, I reflect on how I’ve started to rewrite that story and embrace hope—not as something tied to outcomes but as a way of living with possibility. I want to share what I’ve learned about breaking free from limiting beliefs, embracing vulnerability, and creating space for joy and growth in life. 💡 Call-to-Action: If my story resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you!
