Being triggered... sucks. A LOT.

It feels like your whole body gets hijacked in an instant, as if an old wound you didn’t know was still there suddenly grabs the wheel and convinces you you’re not safe.

And if you've been in situations lately that have sent you down an anxiety spiral, you're not alone friend.

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a very real, very human moment that pushed me right up against the edge of my comfort zone. The kind of moments where your nervous system feels like it’s sprinting a marathon, your ego is giving you terrible advice, and your brain decides to resurrect a bunch of old insecurities you thought you buried years ago.

Fun times.

But here’s the truth I want you to walk away with.

Your triggers are not punishments. They’re invitations.

They’re here to help you see the thoughts, beliefs, and survival patterns that are still running the show… so you can finally let them go.

Inside this episode, we get into:

• Why you get triggered by things you swear you’ve already worked through
• How your nervous system responds to fear, food, body image, social situations and feeling “not good enough
• The real reason your ego tells you to stay home, avoid the event, cancel the dinner and shrink your world
• How to pause, regulate, and shift your perspective when you’re spiraling
• Why your healing and identity expansion will ALWAYS bring up discomfort
• How to turn triggering moments into proof of your growth instead of evidence you’re broken
• What it actually looks like to let go of control so you can cultivate self trust and emotional regulation
• How this relates to intuitive eating, body image healing and breaking out of old food patterns

This is the episode I wish I had 10 years ago when I felt like every difficult emotion meant I was “failing.”

You’ll leave with a whole new way of seeing your triggers… and a lot more compassion for the parts of you that are still learning to feel safe.

If you’ve ever felt anxious skipping a workout, guilty resting, or found yourself “earning” food through exercise, this episode is for you.

Today, we’re unpacking exercise addiction: what it really looks like, how to recognize when your relationship with movement has crossed the line, and most importantly, how to begin healing it so that you can move your body in a way that feels good, is flexible and is rooted in self-love not fear.

Because yes, exercise can be incredible for your physical, emotional, and mental health. But when it’s driven by guilt, fear, or control, it can quietly start doing more harm than good.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• 7 specific signs your relationship with exercise might be unhealthy
• Why it’s so important to heal this pattern (and how it connects to food, body image, and self-worth)
• The 3-step process to rebuild a healthy, peaceful, and flexible relationship with movement - one that’s rooted in love, not punishment

If you’ve ever wondered:

• “Is it okay that I feel anxious missing a workout?”
• “How do I stop exercising out of guilt?”
• “Can I trust myself to rest without losing motivation?”

You’re going to want to hear this one.

Because true health isn’t about how often you move—it’s about the energy behind why you move.

If you can’t stop doing mental math every time you eat - adding up calories in your head, planning your next meal based on what you’ve already had, or feeling anxious when you don’t know the numbers - this episode is for you.

Today, I’m walking you through my 5-step process to stop mentally counting calories so you can finally eat from a place of trust instead of control. You’ll learn how to calm the anxiety that shows up when you’re not tracking, how to retrain your brain to focus on what your body needs rather than what the numbers say, and how to enjoy food again without guilt.

I’ve been there - I used to track everything in MyFitnessPal, and I could tell you exactly how many calories were in a tablespoon of peanut butter. Even years later, that information is still tucked away in my mind... but it no longer controls me. That’s the kind of freedom I want for you.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

1. Why your brain clings to calorie counting even when you consciously want to stop
2. How meditation and mindfulness help you gain control over your thoughts (and stop believing every anxious thought your brain throws at you).
3. How to identify and challenge the calorie-counting thoughts that trigger guilt, fear, and “I’ve ruined everything” moments.
4. A simple reframing practice to come back to the present moment and ask, “What do I want right now?” instead of “What should I eat?”
5. Why repetition rewires your brain , and how practicing these steps daily slowly quiets the mental calorie math for good.
