I’m Bothered! Moving Through Triggers Without Making a Mess

We can’t stop corporate decisions from stressing us out, and we can’t stop people from doing annoying things. But we can stop letting external chaos hijack our internal peace.In this powerful solo episode, Ashlee gets incredibly honest about a recent moment on the baseball field where she lost her cool, got caught in a loop of complaining, and felt completely sidelined. She uses this raw, real-life trigger to show us how venting and complaining actually drain our energy and fuel our mental loops—and what it looks like to take radical responsibility for our own nervous systems instead.If you are tired of living in survival mode and reacting to every stressful event outside of your control, this episode is your blueprint for building a personal regulation toolkit that brings you back to clarity.Ashlee shares:The Circle of Control: How to quickly identify what is actually yours to manage (your attitude, words, and effort) and let go of the rest.Venting vs. Regulating: Why complaining only keeps your brain in a stress response, and how somatic tools like breathwork and movement break the loop.Digging Beneath the Anger: How pausing and regulating allows us to see the real trigger (like feeling left out or hurt) so we can actually heal it.Daily Radical Responsibility: Ashlee's personal practices for catching a stress spiral early, before it leaks onto the people around her.Download Ashlee's 10 minute breathwork to access your calm: ⁠Take a Breath⁠Connect with us on Instagram - we love to hear your feedback: ⁠Ashlee⁠ & ⁠Colleen⁠And we encourage you to share this with one person you know who could benefit from this conversation.
