Episode 161: How to take accountability for your baggage, heal your triggers, and deal with other people’s shit



If you’re easily triggered, quick to overreact, or constantly carrying your past into the present moment… it’s time to take accountability for your baggage. And if you’ve got more bags than Kim Kardashian, this one’s definitely for you!

All of us have baggage, whether it’s from bad relationships, broken homes, friendship drama, or toxic work environments — and more often than not, these past traumas aren’t even our fault! But it’s still our job to manage how we allow these past problems to impact our relationships and experiences today. 

We’re here to help you understand what your baggage is, how it shows up, who is usually on the receiving end of it, and how you’ll manage it — all while sharing our own shit that we’re still working through. 

Tune in as we dive into: 

  • What causes the majority of our baggage 

  • How we’re learning not to take on other people’s baggage

  • The way our triggers show up in relationships, work, parenting, and money 

  • Being self-aware and responsible for healing your past 

  • Self-regulating techniques to manage your triggers

  • Rewriting your narrative and reclaiming your past stories

  • How therapy, coaching, and open communication have helped

It really is empowering to reclaim your past, choose a new narrative for the future, and take responsibility for your own happiness. Let’s do the damn work!
