Triggers — What Sets Us Off, What Sets Us Free

In this episode, Janet and Anastasia sit down for an honest, unfiltered conversation about triggers—why they happen, what they reveal, and how we can stop letting them run the show. Together, they explore the science and the story behind those sudden emotional spikes that catch us off guard. From childhood conditioning to workplace landmines to the subtle echoes of past wounds, they unpack how triggers form, why they persist, and what it looks like to meet them with curiosity instead of shame. This episode blends: - Real-life examples that make you feel seen - Practical strategies for navigating reactive moments - Compassionate reframes that shift blame into self-awareness - A few laughs (because sometimes the only thing to do is laugh at the chaos) Whether you’re trying to understand your own reactions or hoping to show up differently in your relationships, this episode invites you to pause, breathe, and rewrite the story your triggers have been telling for far too long.
