Do moments push your buttons or supercharge our growth? Let's unpack that together. I'm Tiona Thompson, your guide on this empowering journey through the latest episode of Affirmations of a Bad Bitch, where we dissect the nuanced difference between being triggered and being activated. It's about shifting gears from a world where things happen to you, to a universe where everything unfolds FOR you. We'll navigate the emotional whirlpools of jealousy and hurt without drowning, transforming our darkest triggers into beacons of self-awareness and opportunities for self-healing.

As we do the inner work, our outer world changes—this is the heart of our conversation. Boundaries become our allies, and introspection our compass. I'll walk you through the liberating power of accountability and the courage it takes to confront the shadows of our insecurities. Together, we'll embark on a soulful adventure, proving that by facing and embracing our triggers, we not only uplift ourselves but also contribute to the collective healing of all our relationships. It's an evolution from passively feeling victimized to actively participating in our own growth—and I can't wait for you to join me.

In this episode, Kristen shares a channeled message from Austin's higher self about hope. He tells us what hope is, why we are afraid to be hopeful, and how believing in hope is cultivated by surrendering to it.  

Kristen pulls two cards from Megan Edge's Heart's Desire Oracle Deck. She loves this deck! Megan's story about how she birthed this deck into the world and how to purchase it can be found at www.meganedge.ca

Kristen is adding symbols of hope to her altar to inspire her "to rest in the Pool of Surrendering" to keep hope alive in her mind and heart as we all move into 2024. Enjoy and have a wonderful week believing in hope.

We've all heard about Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese practice of arranging pieces in living spaces to create balance with the natural world. We've also heard about Marie Kondo, who has introduced us to the concept of only having things that spark joy around us. And then, there is Jeannette Cieszykowski, who is marrying the two and adding "intention" to the practice.

By now, we all know that everything is energy. Then, wouldn't it make sense for us to understand how the energy of our environment influences us and learn to work with it?
