//274: Triggers Are Teachers (And They're Trying to Tell You Something)

from Seek First CEO: Neuroscience, Scripture, & Spirit-led Strategy for High-performing Christian Women · host Heather Shriver Burns: Master Neuroscience Business Coach, Certified Biblical Life Coach, and Speaker

You got triggered today. Maybe it was a DM. Maybe it was your kid. Maybe it was a comment that you are still thinking about three hours later. And your first instinct was probably shame — why am I still bothered by this? Here's what nobody taught you: that trigger is not evidence that you're broken. It's an invitation. In this episode, Heather breaks down the three things every trigger is trying to do — and why learning to work WITH them instead of shame them is the fastest path to the rewire you've been praying for. In this episode: What a trigger actually is (and what your amygdala has to do with it) Why triggers are truth tellers — and what they're pointing to underneath Why you can KNOW something and still get triggered — and what that means The difference between reacting and choosing (this is where the rewire actually happens) How to start celebrating your triggers instead of being ashamed of them Mentioned in this episode: Seek First CEO Academy — seekfirstceo.com/academy Rewire to Reign Private Podcast — seekfirstceo.com/rewire Scripture referenced: Romans 12:2 Romans 8:6 Proverbs 4:23 Ready to join Seek First CEO Academy: DM me the word "CEO" on Instagram so we can chat!
