Our triggers and our judgments are some of our greatest teachers...
They arise to illuminate the parts
of us that are yearning to shift,
grow, expand, be let go of,
or be embodied.
A mirror for how you’ve been showing or not showing up...
A reminder of a deep part
of you longing to come forth...
An invitation to use your voice
and stand in your truths…
A remembering of what once
was and what is to unfold…
It is no accident certain things trigger you, dearest. And, if you are willing to lean into it, there is much medicine awaiting! ✨

I speak on this topic often and dive deep into the work with my clients...but in reading The Book of SHE last night, an amazing exercise to put it into tangible form stood out:
“Write down all the ways in which you’ve judged people in the last week and notice how it also translates into how you’ve been showing up.”
(I would add to this, any common themes of judgment that arise for you, even if they haven’t necessarily come up this week.
I also invite you to look at the themes, as opposed to the specific actions...
Example: You feel triggered when witnessing a friend not upholding a boundary. It’s an area that you are actually quite clear on, but wavering boundaries is a theme that pops up in your life constantly and this trigger was meant to illuminate that misalignment.)
I’d love to hear below how this exercise pans out for you! I know it was a powerful one for me...
