I’ve always prided myself on being someone who isn’t easily triggered.

But let me tell you, this has taken years of inner work – peeling back layers of old wounds, learning to self-soothe, and rewriting stories that once ruled my reactions.

It’s been worth every moment.

Yet, sitting at my father’s celebration of life, feeling rage rise up in my chest, I was reminded of something important:

Being completely untriggerable is rare. We’re human, after all.
(FYI: I share the story in today’s podcast episode – listen here.) 

And while I still aspire to meet life’s challenges with calm and poise, I also want to embrace my triggers as some of my greatest teachers.

They show me where I’m still giving away my power… where I have room to grow… and where I can love myself deeper.

This week on the podcast, we’re revisiting an episode that so many of you wrote in about. Because during these times – with so much division, tension, and stress – we need to work on our triggers… lovingly.

We need to take back our power.

And perhaps most importantly, we need to learn how to love (or at least tolerate) difficult people, because like it or not, we’re all here co-existing together.

Here’s to becoming untriggered – not from avoidance, but from deep inner peace.

With love,

P.S. - In August, we’re diving deep into Loving Difficult People inside the School of Self-Image.

Choosing Your Response

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Every trigger is a teacher dressed as an enemy. It arrives uninvited, makes you uncomfortable, and demands your attention. 

But here’s what most people miss: triggers aren’t disruptions to your peace – they’re invitations to deeper freedom.

The woman who learns to face her triggers instead of fleeing, freezing, or fighting them discovers something profound. She realizes that true peace isn’t the absence of challenge – it’s the presence of choice.

The School of Self-Image Membership

How much mental energy are you giving to people who drain you? 

Too much, right?

Most women spend years trying to figure this out alone – white-knuckling through family dinners, rehearsing arguments in their heads, wondering why they can’t just “get over it.”

This month inside the School of Self-Image, we’re mastering the art of Loving Difficult People. This isn’t about becoming a doormat – it’s about becoming so grounded in your power that other people’s behavior can’t derail your peace.

Trust me, this work requires more than good intentions and positive thinking. If you’re ready to reclaim your power in every relationship, join us now inside the School of Self-Image membership.

[Summer Series] Untriggered: How to Protect Your Peace in Any Situation

I’m getting a little messy in this week’s episode, sharing the real work that goes into protecting your peace and why I found myself needing this reminder at my father’s celebration of life.

I break down the different ways people respond when their emotions get hijacked and share why most of them keep you stuck. This conversation is about becoming powerful enough to choose your response instead of just reacting.

If you’re tired of letting other people’s behavior control how you feel, this episode is for you.
