Triggered. Now What?

It happens to all of us. The question is what we do next.

In this episode, Morgan and Caryn get honest about their own gut reactions to the Olympic men's hockey locker room moment. The sadness, the little girl's feelings, the anger. All of it is valid. Your reactivity isn't something to fix. It's data.

From there, they explore the space between your first reaction and your second thought. What happens when we get curious instead of defensive? And what does it actually mean to assume positive intent for others, and for yourself?

They also play First Thought, Second Thought, getting real about being cut off in traffic, plans canceled at the last minute, and someone bringing up that embarrassing story from ten years ago.

We're all triggered by something. The more interesting question is what it's actually trying to tell you.
