Living with Emotional Triggers | Ep. 17 [VIDEO]

The Justin J Rahman Experience

Navigating Triggers and Embracing Vulnerability Maddie and I chat about our journeys of self-growth and the quest for a true sense of home. We dive into childhood triggers and how those early experiences shape who we are today. Maddie shares amazing insights from her passion for neuroscience and child psychology, while I open up about the struggles of living with a roommate, facing my triggers, and finding belonging. Maddie also recount her escape from a toxic relationship and the transformation that came from living on her own, where even her dog played a crucial part in healing. It's a raw, honest, and heartfelt conversation about vulnerability, self-love, and building healthier relationships.
