In this episode, energetic alchemist, intuitive fine jeweler, healer, cosmic guide, and spiritual coach Crystal Streets joins your Triggered hosts to share how she was able to sit in the void, work through the pain, and reach the gifts on the other side. From breathwork to the art of surrendering, listen in as Crystal guides you through the death of your old self to the birth of a more aligned and authentic you.

KEY POINTS:

"It's like this hidden superpower that we don't know, and we're not educated on. But we are our own healers."

"Your joy and your excitement are the gateway to alignment. Follow it!"

S5 EP9: Red Flags | Alechia & Dani Dec 27, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, Alechia and Dani let you in on a little bit of girl talk and discuss the topics that may not always be politically correct on air. And today's gossip is all about red flags!

From thin eyebrows to a lack of effort, tune in as your hosts share their yellow cautionary flags and the red flags that send them running for the hills.

KEY POINTS:

- What do you do when you see a red flag?

- Tough love does not mean abuse!

- Why do we make excuses for people's lack of effort?

- Is it difficult to be happy for others when you're not happy?

- Gaslighting and love bombing

QUOTABLES:

"It's important for women to be able to identify red flags and also identify what your reactions are and if that is the healthiest reaction to when you see a red flag."

"I think it's a red flag when somebody always wants to point out what's wrong with you. And then never what's right. That is a red flag, and it's not out of love. We have to come out of this mindset that people who love us are cruel to us."

S5 EP8: Frolic Sis | Cici Battle Dec 20, 2022

We have been socialized to base our value on our labor and titles. We've been told we always need a check-point plan, and when it comes to rest…we must earn it! But in this episode, frolic facilitator, global equity strategist, and connoisseur of all things excellence, Cici Battle, is here to debunk these myths and remind us that we are worth so much more than the bare minimum!

So how do we change what we think we deserve? And how do we prioritize rest and play, or frolic culture, in our lives? Tune in to your Triggered hosts and Cici Battle to find out!

KEY POINTS:

- What is frolic culture?

QUOTABLES:

"What are you doing? I'm frolicking. And that meant I was chasing my hope, my wholeness. I was chasing my joy, and I wasn't chasing any accolades. I wasn't chasing any visibility. If it felt good in my spirit, that's what I did."
