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.
