1041 | The Lessons In Boundaries and Triggers Are Always There

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.Chapters:[03:11] - Navigating Misunderstandings and Boundaries in NLP[05:20] - Understanding Emotional Responses[11:15] - Retaining Personal Power Through Self-Reflection[12:53] - Embracing Personal Power and GrowthMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterOUTSPOKEN QUIZ: https://nlp.marshavanw.com/LOCKED IN: https://www.heart-wiredceo.com/locked-inOUTSPOKEN August Cohort: https://www.marshavanw.com/nlpUNBOTHERED Mastermind: https://www.marshavanw.com/offers/w8WVE3PaWrite Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenowOUTSPOKEN Publishing: https://www.outspokenpublishing.comTickets for Heart-Wired CEO Live https://www.heart-wiredceo.com/liveUnbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.Tap the “Follow” button never to miss a show, and if you love the show, please feel free to tag me on social media, share it with a friend, or leave me a rating and review.
