Have you ever been triggered by someone online — especially around money, success, or confidence — and couldn’t quite explain why?

In this episode, I unpack what triggers actually are (from a psychology and nervous-system perspective) and why they show up so strongly around money and identity.

We talk about:

• why logic and budgeting alone don’t fix self-sabotage
• how triggers can quietly influence earning, risk-taking, and confidence
