#triggered

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 the girls play a game where Cierra ask's her co-host Cydne and Mia a series of deep, funny, and interesting questions from her perspective. What's the penalty if they don't answer?? Tune in to find out AND enjoy our wine review of Santa Margherita's Pinot Grigio and Ecco Domani's Pinot Grigio. 

We all have traditional times when our extended families come together to celebrate, give thanks, and share the warmth of mutual love. In the UK, December is a non-stop reel of songs about 'Simply having a wonderful Christmas time', and Instagram is awash with pictures of happy celebrations. 

Being with our family can give us a welcome chance to relax and be accepted for who we are but - let's be honest -  it can also bring out the worst in us. The break in routine - where everyone is forced together - can be a difficult adjustment. The expense can be crippling. Travelling to see family can be stressful, and then the raised expectations can set up the entire event for failure.

We've all been there, so here are our tips on how to make the most of those gatherings when you have teenagers in the house.

This episode is about the idea that we are altering language in school because so that students won't feel triggered. It is shocking that this is happening considering  these students are a lot of times leaving high school, or even about to step into society as a young adult. Today we deal with how this has taken hold in schools
