    137. The Truth Behind Your Triggers

    In this episode, we’re diving into triggers, the reactions that catch you off guard, hit you in the chest, and make you think, “Why does this bother me so much?” Instead of fighting them or feeling ashamed of them, we’re talking about how to actually learn from your triggers and use them to your advantage. Because triggers aren’t just emotional explosions, they’re information. They’re pointing you toward the things that need healing, the boundaries that need tightening, and the parts of you that deserve more support. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your reactions, this episode will help you see them in a whole new way, one that actually empowers you instead of holding you back. 👉🏻Explore Ways to Create Your Best Single Parent Life NEW COPARENTING PLAYBOOK (The Ultimate Guide to Texting Your Ex) Free 30 Min 1:1 Intro Coaching Session Ongoing CoachingAsk me your questionsJoin The Facebook Community .................................................................................................................................................. 👉🏻Resources: The Complete Single Parent Reset SessionSHOP: The Single Parents Guide to DatingSHOP: The Single Parents Guide to Single ParentingSHOP: The Single Parents Guide to Self Care Grab your complete eBook Bundle here, 5 eBooks in 1 bundle.....................................................................................................................................................................................
