Ep. 18 - Navigating the Inner Terrain: Activation, Discomfort, + Triggers on the Path of Growth

Ep. 18 -


In this episode, I explore three powerful words that have become part of our shared language around healing: activation, discomfort, + trigger. Though often used interchangeably, each of these experiences carries its own energetic signature, emotional impact, + role in our inner work.

Together, we unpack:

  • What each term really means

  • How to recognize the difference between discomfort + a true trigger

  • Why activation can be exciting, destabilizing, or both + how to work with it

  • How all three of these states are interconnected in the process of transformation

Through reflections, examples, + storytelling, I invite you into a deeper understanding of your emotional world so you can meet these moments with more discernment, grace, + grounded self-awareness.

In This Episode, I Share:

  • The definitions + distinctions between activation, discomfort, and triggers

  • Personal and client examples of how they show up in daily life

  • Why understanding these states helps build emotional resilience

  • How to relate to each of them with compassion instead of judgment

  • What each one is trying to teach you about your healing + growth

This episode is for you if you’ve ever asked:

  • “Why am I feeling this way?”

  • “Is this a trigger or just something new and scary?”

  • “How do I know when I’m growing vs. re-living something old?”

🌿 Listen in for clarity, tools, + the reminder that your inner responses are not wrong they are sacred invitations to meet yourself more fully.
