1041 | The Lessons In Boundaries and Triggers Are Always There
Description
In this episode, Marsha shares a recent experience that became a powerful real-time lesson in boundaries, emotional regulation, and subconscious patterns.
After a misrepresentation involving her professional identity triggered a strong emotional response, Marsha found herself face-to-face with old patterns that could have easily taken over the moment. Instead of bypassing what she was feeling or reacting from the trigger, she used the very tools she teaches to regulate, create space, and choose how she wanted to respond.
Marsha explores the difference between validating your emotions and allowing them to drive your behaviour, why certain situations can activate much older stories, and what it looks like to hold a boundary while remaining grounded in who you are today.
This episode is a reminder that doing the work doesn’t mean you stop getting triggered. The work shows up in what you’re able to do next — how quickly you recognize the pattern, regulate yourself, communicate clearly, and choose a response that reflects who you are becoming.
