Triggered: What's Really Happening Beneath the Surface

About this episode

In this episode of The High Road Podcast, we’re talking about what really happens when core wounds take over. Those moments when your reaction feels bigger than the situation — when abandonment, betrayal, rejection, or shame rise up and start running the show. Instead of reacting from survival mode, we’re breaking down practical steps to pause, regulate, and respond from your grounded, adult self. This episode will help you separate the trigger from the truth, build discernment instead of defense, and choose awareness over impulse. You’re not broken — you’re healing. And every time you choose to respond instead of react, you’re taking the high road.
