    EP2: Women & Their Triggers

    We all have triggers, and in this episode, Michelle and her girls get real about theirs. From social media making us feel like we aren't doing enough to one-sided relationships that leave us giving without end, tune in for a discussion on what gets us triggered and how we can navigate our responses better.    KEY POINTS: - What triggers you? - Do you have friends that check your triggers? -  Pause - Decide how you want to show up in the moment - Reacting versus responding - Who created the expectations put upon us?   QUOTABLES: "We're all humans just trying to connect and live and thrive and be loved and accepted. But if we're all triggered, and no one's pausing, we're all just reacting." "Whoever is triggering me and whoever hurt me should not have that power over me. I need to bring that back. So just because they had a moment of me in the past where they hurt me, they don't deserve my future."   PRODUCTS / RESOURCES: Like what you're hearing? Follow Michelle Dennis on social media!
