  • The fear of failure is so often confused with the fear of judgment. Many people believe that the reason their life didn’t turn out the way they imagined is due to fear of failure. But what if we told you that it’s actually the fear of judgment that holds countless people back?

    From the time we are in utero, we are picking up language and behaviors, which ultimately wires our brain to think a certain way. While trauma has its place, it’s often our conditioning that hinders our ability to create the life we want. Our guest, Managing Partner at 1888 Ventures, Charles Robinson, joins us to discuss how to free yourself from the shackles of not only other people’s opinion but your own perception of what it takes to achieve greatness. In a world where it’s easier to theorize than to take action, it can be more difficult to take the necessary steps to become the best version of yourself. As morbid as it may sound, we all have a one way ticket out of here and we don’t know when the ticket will be called. How bad do you really want it? What are you willing to sacrifice? Also, respectfully, F anyone who tries to stand in your way. Tap in to this week’s episode to learn how to change your inner critic to your inner champion who gets shit done.

  • 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.

    And for stubborn people getting out of our own way is incredibly difficult. While all growth is change, not all change results is growth, so it may require more specific input to yield the output you desire. 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.

  • Becoming the best version of yourself can feel damn near impossible when your childhood trauma still affects you on so many levels. Recognizing how your trauma shows up and working through your triggers is the beginning of reparenting yourself to reframe your childhood.

    It’s probably safe to assume that most of us have experienced trauma throughout our children on varying levels from mild to severe. Since trauma is not only what happened to us but rather how we perceive what happened, it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly when and how the damage was done. Our guest, trauma expert and holistic therapist, Edit B Kiss, joins us to discuss how to heal from deep wounds in order to lead a life filled with love, joy and purpose. Edit believes that it is possible to not allow our triggers to wreak havoc on not only our lives and relationships, but also our physical health. Our past can feel like a sentence to forever live a life trying to escape it. Edit is here to give us hope and tools that actually work to move the needle forward on your healing journey. Tap in to this week’s episode to learn how to rewrite your past in hopes of a better future.

    KEY POINTS & QUOTES:

    “I’m powerful enough to change my perspective.”

    Trauma plays a role in helping you evolve and learn.

    As a parent, it is important that you lead by example in the way you treat others and by the way to live your life.

    People should learn how they best deal with trauma in order to find the modality that works for them.

    Being reactive to your triggers on a daily basis is a sign that you have unresolved trauma.

  • Reclaiming your power and releasing unhealthy attachments is possible, even when you’re afraid you cannot. Removing toxic energy and making intentional changes and choices starts first with owning the power we all hold inside.

    Between pandemics, natural disasters and actual wars going on, it’s no wonder so many of us are riddled with feelings of anxiety, despair and hopelessness. With the collective nervous system in a constant state of flight, fight or fawn, we have to become intentional about how we choose to deal as we attempt to heal and move forward. Our guest, blogger, content creator and host of the podcast “How I See it”, Han Huante, joins us to discuss how being unapologetic and authentic helps her overcome feeling powerless. When your heart, head and your actions align, it becomes easier to honor your highest self and step into every room as HER. We have all had moments where we give our power away or it is taken from us against our will. But life is not what happens to you, it’s about how you react that matters. Han is here to give you the girl’s girl pep talk you need to get off your ass and make the changes necessary to be the best version of yourself. No excuses. Tap on in to this week’s episode to be reminded of your power and how to stand in it.

    Vera Wang didn’t design her first dress until she was 40. Henry Ford didn’t create the revolutionary Model T car until age 45. Samuel Jackson didn’t land his award-winning role in Spike Lee’s “Jungle Fever”, which catapulted his acting career, until age 43. Controversial as she is, Kris Jenner didn’t pitch the hit show “Keeping up with the Kardashians” to E! Network until she was 52 and we see what happened there. The point is, it’s never too late to be who you might have been. It’s actually not ok to give up and damn yourself to a life of mediocrity. Alechia believes it’s a slap in the face to the creator who gave you gifts that you should use to elevate your life and serve humanity but instead you choose to squander them and keep them to yourself. If you’re good with some tough love, then you need to come on in and have a seat. Tap into this week’s episode for some invaluable tips on how to reclaim any time you feel you may have wasted and how to live your best life at any age. Yes, you have the time.

    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. What if instead of ruining a relationship because you were envious, you were able to communicate your feelings and use them as a catalyst for change? 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.

  • 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.

  • It’s time to learn how to recognize, accept and align yourself with the partner you desire.

    Are you confused and frustrated out here in these dating streets? With the rise of social media and its impact on who, where and how we date, it’s easy to get caught up in how love should look rather than what it actually is. As much as we all want love, are we really willing to do what it takes to obtain it, cultivate it and then sustain it for years to come? On this week’s episode we are joined by psychotherapist, media personality, award-winning speaker and 5 time best-selling author, the “King of Breakthroughs”, Jack A. Daniels, to help give us a compass and much needed direction on the journey to finding true love and keeping it. Oftentimes, women make the mistake of asking other women for advice about men. You know we like experts! From the three types of men women should NEVER date to the places where single women should NEVER live and what’s keeping you loveless, we are getting the goods straight from the “horse’s mouth.” Tap into this week’s episode if you are tired of coming up short in love and want this Valentine’s Day to be the last one you spend alone. Don’t say we never gave y’all nothing!

    Watch the conversation on YouTube: https://youtu.be/KEjwWn8izD8

    KEY POINTS & QUOTES:

    "We are all connected and what we do to others, we do to ourselves." "Your 'list' could be what’s keeping you loveless." "Women who are seeking men should go out in pairs instead of packs." Three types of men you shouldn't be dating: the Peacock, the Project and the Penis. "Bad questions get bad answers...ask the hard questions." Focus on values instead of valuables. The more options you have, the less decisions you tend to make. Social media is killing the mystery of women for men. Most people cheat because they want something easy. Love is connecting and reconnecting on a regular basis.

  • Cracking the manifestation code is not nearly as difficult as you think!

    It’s time to learn how to raise your vibration to manifest your dream life.

    Grab your scuba gear and put on your wetsuit for this episode because the ladies are going deep into the realm of frequencies. If you’ve been on this healing journey with us for some time, then you’ll quickly recognize that this is THE episode if you're ready for the next level of your evolution. We have all heard talk of energy, vibration and frequencies but do we really understand how they actually function and affect us? On this week’s episode we are joined by transformational speaker and “catalyst for rising consciousness,” Karen Cheong, to unpack the ways in which we can raise our vibration to access higher frequencies so we can manifest the lives we want. Karen speaks about what she calls “distortion patterns” and how they prevent us from accessing frequencies that allow us to feel more connected to source, a higher power, God, whatever you call “the Divine.” Distortion patterns keep us feeling stuck and helpless. Tap into this episode if you have been craving to go deeper but didn’t want to go alone. We’ve got you covered! By the end of this episode you’ll be asking yourself, “How can I become even more aware of my connection only to Source?”

    Everything happens at the frequency level first, and then the slower, denser vibration, mirrors the higher vibrational level.

    The beginning point of awakening is to recognize, to realize, to feel that you are greater than your physical self; that you are infinite, indestructible consciousness having an embodied experience.

    Lower level stuff can not exist at higher vibrational frequencies..

  • Navigating ADHD to learn how to work with your ADHD brain and not against it

    It's estimated that ADHD affects more than 8 million adults (or up to 5% of Americans) and 6.1% of children. Unfortunately, many people don't even know they have it. For decades, people with ADHD have been ignored, dismissed and even derided. As one of the most misunderstood diagnoses, it's easy for ADHD to be treated like a joke or a superpower, even though it's neither. On this week's episode we are joined by the NYT best selling author of "How to ADHD", Jessica McCabe. We dive into everything from how the brain of a person with ADHD works to how their loved ones can better understand and support them. Jessica opens up about what it was like to be the one with “potential” who could never quite bring it to fruition. After years of reaching out to experts, devouring articles, and sharing her discoveries on YouTube, Jessica has been able to bring a new perspective to the masses (her TED Talk has been viewed 19 million times) about what it means to live with ADHD. Tap into this week’s episode if you have ADHD or love someone with it for some great tips on how to navigate it successfully.

    KEY POINTS & QUOTES:

    ADHD is not a joke or a superpower.

    Make space for hyperfocus but install guardrails in your mind to stay on track.

    Studies have shown that ADHD may be polygenetic.

    Pills don’t teach skills. Simply medicating your child is not enough.

    Instead of telling someone to “calm down”, try telling them to “slow down.”

    Try to work with your unique brain rather than fight against it.

  • How to own the power in your differences

    What does it mean to grow up as ‘other’? Whether it’s due to being biracial or mixed race and never feeling like you fit in or it’s because you don’t share the same interests as other members in your culture, it’s totally normal to feel like you don’t belong. Triggered AF is joined by the CEO and Founder of The Curvy, Curly, Conscious Movement, wellness influencer and meditation enthusiast, Shelah Marie. Growing up as the only black woman in her household presented a set of challenges that helped Shelah develop a sense of curiosity and wonder, ultimately leading to a yearning for more … more play, more answers, more freedom. Shelah shares everything from advice on the one thing white parents should NEVER say to their black children to why she decided to create a safe space for black women. It’s not enough to just be weird or different, you should amplify your quirks and the things that make you ‘other’ — it’s your superpower. Tap into this week’s episode to learn how you can attract your tribe and create a family that accepts and loves you exactly the way you are. Why blend in when you were born to stand out, baby?!

    Quote of the Week

    “It’s really important to share the idea that being different might feel like a problem at the time, but ultimately diversity is a strength.” - Carson Kressley



    Dating Well AF Tip

    Always remember the three R's of new relationships: respect one another, revel in the wonder, and reach out with kindness every chance you get.




    KEY POINTS & QUOTES:

    Ego and selfishness in moderation can be a good thing.

    Don’t ever say “I don’t see race” to your biracial children as a non-black parent.

    It’s better to be a part of “salad” than it is to be in a “melting pot”.

    Amplify everything that makes you not fit in. It will become your superpower.

    Being your true self will allow you to attract your tribe and create your chosen family.

    When navigating being biracial, it’s important to make peace with and embrace both sides of yourself to reduce confusion and anger.

  • How to Keep the Friendship While Building the Business

    “Friends and business don’t mix.” How many times have you heard that? How many times have you actually tried it? While we agree that mixing business and friendship isn’t for everybody, the right combination of the two can be a game changer. Having been friends for over 15 years and business partners for almost 3 years, we know how challenging it can be to start a business while maintaining the dynamic that brought you together in the first place. Whether it’s doing weekly check-ins, going out for drinks or having difficult conversations to hold each other accountable, it’s important to always prioritize the friendship so that the business can thrive and flow. There is just something so special about embarking on a journey of entrepreneurship with a friend who you can weather the storms with and celebrate the victories with. You can always expect some gems and some laughs but this time there were some tears dropped as well. Tap into this episode for the dos and don’ts of how to keep the friendship while building a business. Not only is it possible, it’s beautiful.

  • Owning Your Power Through Challenges

    About 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 13 boys in the United States experience child sexual abuse and we are almost certain that the number is far higher since many victims don’t ever come forward. Unfortunately, someone known and trusted by the child or child’s family members, perpetrates 91% of child sexual abuse. How do victims of child sexual abuse move forward to lead full, healthy lives? Is that even possible? According to Alreen Haeggquist, lawyer and author of “Fired Up: Fueling Triumph from Trauma”, with a great deal of work, healing and deep empathy, it is absolutely feasible. While it’s common to focus on the heinous acts, many people neglect to acknowledge the lifelong effects these acts may have on the victims. Alreen founded her firm, Haeggquist & ECK LLP, in San Diego in 2008, to help women find their voice and stand up for themselves while providing tools to aid them on their journey to wholeness. Tap in to this episode to hear Alreen’s heart-wrenching story and her path to triumph.

    Quote of the Week

    “The ability to say no to yourself is a gift. If you can resist your urges, change your habits, and say yes to only what you deem truly meaningful, you’ll be practicing healthy self-boundaries. It’s your responsibility to care for yourself without excuses.” ― Nedra Glover Tawwab

    “When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.” - Maya Angelou

    KEY POINTS & QUOTES:

    Trust your gut!

    Teach children about “stranger danger” but also teach them about “tricky people”.

    The incorrect response of the adult can greatly negatively impact the child by retraumatizing them.

    We are conditioned to be silent about our pain and trauma.

    Once you have been abused, you are more likely to be abused again by multiple people.

    Studies have shown that there may be a link between child sexual abuse and illnesses like autoimmune diseases and fibroids.

    While an apology might be nice, empathy and working on your own healing, is the key to forgiving yourself and your abuser.

  • 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.

    “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.

    KEY POINTS & QUOTES:

    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.

    Different people have different access to learning tools so you cannot hold judgment for them based on your growth and resources.

  • 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.

    “Knowing who you are and what you want sets your standard and helps you date better.” – Alechia Reese & Dani Bourdeau

    Getting to know yourself better is a lifelong journey of self-discovery and personal growth. It takes real intentional effort to become your own bestie.

    KEY POINTS & QUOTES:

    Sex connects and disconnects some women and it's many times based on how you were introduced to it.

    You will have to resolve the person you once were as you change and evolve, it’s necessary to forgive yourself and honor that past version of yourself without feeling shame.

    The decisions you make directly affect your type of lifestyle and experience.

    Is ignorance really bliss? Once you know how it’s supposed to feel it’s hard to go to something that doesn’t feel good.

    Dating Well AF Tip

    "The longer you entertain what's not for you, the longer you postpone what is."

    Dating potential and not honoring what you truly want and the type lifestyle you desire will only ensure you never get it.

    KEY POINTS & QUOTES:

    Legacy is started and created while you’re living.

    We hyperfocus on death, but when it comes to legacy planning, focus on putting a structure around the legacy you’re living now.

    You plan trips, marriages, and vacations. Be willing to also structure your end of life plans.

    People die, assets don’t!

    Wanting your children or family to “get it out the mud” comes from a place of anger, not love.

    Set your child up so they have the tools and resources to lead the life they want to lead versus the one they have to lead.

    The person in the mirror is who changes your life.
