In this heartfelt episode, I share my journey of feeling emotionally triggered daily as a single parent. Join me as I explore the common struggles of parenting, the emotional toll it takes, and my transformative approach to feeling less reactive and more present.

Key Points Discussed:

• Understanding Triggers:

  • Personal experiences with daily parenting challenges.
  • Examples of common triggers such as meltdowns, household chaos, and feelings of overwhelm.

• The Emotional Rollercoaster:

  • Insight into living in a heightened emotional state and the difficulty of managing feelings.
  • Acknowledging my ability to stay calm externally while feeling internally drained.

• Shifting Perspectives:

  • The realization that it's not about eliminating feelings of being triggered.
  • The importance of validating emotions instead of suppressing them.

• Steps to Change:

  • Why the first step to transformation is recognizing and accepting your feelings.
  • Discussion of alternative changes that can affect sensitivity and emotional reactions over time.
