“There's a difference between speaking your truth and talking to your experience, and bashing and dragging someone's name. And oftentimes, we've completely lost the right to even speak about this person because we have no idea who that person is anymore. Just because that's what they did and that's who they were five years ago, or two years ago, does not mean that's who they are now.”

Recap edited by Triggered Media Group.
09/05/23 • 52 min
In the “How to Have a Better Relationship” episode, the founder of Brace Life Studios, Robert Brace, gave tools to help us navigate the challenges that come with romantic relationships. No one teaches you how to be a good partner and way too many of us are just winging it.
This conversation helps to provide the tools to show up as better people for our partners. Getting curious and putting our ego to bed in order to communicate more effectively sounds easy, but has been proven to trip many of us up. Healthy relationships don’t happen by accident, nor do they happen overnight, our commitment to it changes the experience.
KEY POINTS:
- Once we get in our own heads it’s easy to confirm whatever bias we have in our minds.
- If you’re judging while your partner is explaining how they’re feeling then your energy is spent on your judgment versus the curiosity of why they feel the way they do.
- Feeling like a simp a lot of times comes from the feeling of having to keep doing without ever receiving also.
- Lay your ego down and remain curious.
- When you dismiss your partner’s effort it shuts them down and makes them less available to you emotionally.
- Natural is whatever you decide it to be.
QUOTABLES:
“Depth requires energy. Take the time to replenish yourself.”
“Learn to listen through your own judgment.”
“Stay curious because that’s when you begin to better understand each other.”
“If you want something that’s going to last and go deep you’re going to have to make some commitments to it.”

We are back with Season 9 and we need you to know this is a safe space where we can tell ourselves the truth. We ALL have been jealous or envious of someone at some point in our lives.

We'll talk about the difference between jealousy and envy and even share some personal stories about instances when we felt envious. There's something so liberating about admitting that you want something that someone else has.

There’s a thin line between love and hate and it’s time to learn how to live in love even when we feel covetous.

The Pros and Cons of Being a Slut
Triggered AF
12/12/23 • 81 min
Hoe-tales: The Pros and Cons of Being a Slut
We thought that we were done slut-shaming, but apparently we’re back to calling women sluts and whores. The double standard is real. Way too many are pointing the finger at women calling them out of their names, but not enough people are recognizing that they’re not sleeping with themselves. Plus, the assumption of what someone is doing without actually knowing is definitely frustrating all parties involved. We’re so quick to pass judgment on women on their own journey learning to navigate and figure themselves out. Your youth is designed for learning and exploring. And keeping your options open, having a multitude of energetic exchanges, and living life your way is your choice! Just be clear of the consequences, benefits, and opportunities of it all! We talk through the whole spectrum and explore the pros and cons of being a slut.

How to create lasting change for stubborn people
Triggered AF
05/30/24 • 51 min
With all the uncertainty that this life has to offer, the one thing that we can count on is the inevitably of change. There’s something about intentionally changing to a new default that can feel like a mini death to our mind and body.

This week the ladies are here with just the strategy you have been looking for to change your life. With “The 7 Agents of Change”, you’re presented with a step-by-step guide that you can use to initiate and implement changes in your daily life.

Naming Our Demons: How to Overcome Shame
The more stories you collect the more clogged your meaning-making machine can be. Many times, this prevents us from moving through our emotions as quickly. Sitting down with Shaun Derik, affectionately known as, Internet Jesus, we took a deep dive into the things we hide, the shade we throw, and the actions that aren’t as becoming. One of the things children are supposed to teach us is how to move through emotions quickly. Your emotions are supposed to last 21-90 seconds long. Tap into the episode to help develop your tools to get there.

“Shame hates it when we reach out and tell our story. It hates having words wrapped around it — it can’t survive being shared. Shame loves secrecy.” - Brené Brown
- Dating Well AF Tip
“Learning how to identify and manage how you respond to your triggers helps you to breathe through your triggers so you can think.”
- STEP #1: Write down 10 of your triggers. Then on a scale of 1(mild reaction)-10(Blowing shit up), rate each one.
- STEP #2: For all 6+ ratings, write out your usual or default reaction.
- STEP #3: For all 6+ ratings, create new alternative reactions or defaults.

- How you’re feeling is not always an indication of how you’re doing.
- Your emotions are supposed to last 21-90 seconds long.
- One of the things children are supposed to teach us is how to move through emotions quickly.
- Working through shame can be achieved by asking yourself “why?” Getting down to the why behind your decisions and choices helps you overcome your shame around them.

In the “How to Stop Self-Sabotaging When Dating” episode, Triggered AF hosts, Alechia & Dani get honest about all the ways in which we sabotage ourselves when we’re dating.

Why Being Selfish is Actually a Good Idea
Triggered AF
02/13/24 • 68 min
Being selfish might be just the thing you need to tap into your joy.
It’s time to reframe what it means to be intentionally selfish in order to live the life you want.
When’s the last time you were selfish? Better yet, when’s the last time you were selfish without feeling guilty about it? It’s high time we rebrand what it means to be selfish and what it looks like to choose yourself more often. The days of endless self sacrificing and carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders are over. We are now entering our “Soft Life Era”. On this week’s episode we are joined by Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist, Trauma Specialist, and #1 Balance (and) Relationship Advisor in the World, Naketa Ren Thigpen, to help us all understand just how important it is to prioritize self care on a daily basis. From the mathematical formula to achieving balance to why selfish lovers are the best lovers. You’ve been selfless long enough. This is your official permission slip to be selfish.
