How to Recognize & Help When the Strong Friend Is Struggling - EP 165
Welcome back to TriggeredAF! In this powerful Season 12 opener, hosts Alechia and Dani get real about something we all say but rarely do: checking in on your strong friend. This episode isn’t just talk — it’s a raw, unfiltered example of what it actually looks and sounds like to hold space for someone who seems like they’ve got it all together. Alechia and Dani open up about what’s been heavy on their hearts, the weight of being "the strong one," and how easy it is to miss the signs that someone you love might be breaking inside. You’ll learn: 📌 How to recognize when your “strong friend” is silently struggling 📌 Practical ways to check in that feel safe, supportive, and non-invasive 📌 What NOT to say when someone finally opens up 📌 Why vulnerability between friends is a two-way street 📌 How to protect your peace while still showing up for others This is the episode you didn’t know you needed — equal parts emotional release and masterclass in emotional intelligence. Because being strong doesn’t mean being unbreakable. And sometimes, the strongest ones are the most overlooked. 🎧 Press play and share this with your circle — especially the ones who never ask for help.

The Art of Redemption: How to Grow, Heal, and Thrive After Failure - EP 164
💥 Messed up? You’re not alone. In this episode, we break down exactly how to rebuild your confidence, reclaim your life, and find redemption after failure. In this powerful and transparent episode, we sit down with Chief Activator, international speaker, author, and Executive Director of Activate Your Life, Lucinda Cross, for an unflinching look at what true redemption means after a fall from grace. Lucinda shares her wisdom and lived experience around how leaders — especially those in the public eye — can navigate the aftermath of mistakes without being permanently defined by them. We dive deep into the uncomfortable but necessary conversation about what it means to hold space for those who have stumbled, and how true healing and growth happen not in private isolation, but often under the very spotlight where the failure occurred. Together, we explore: What authentic redemption looks like beyond performative apologies Why cancel culture often robs individuals of the chance to genuinely transform The crucial role community and compassion play in a leader’s healing journey How public figures can model resilience and integrity through their comeback stories Why embracing the full arc of failure and redemption is essential for collective growth Lucinda challenges us to rethink how we treat fallen leaders and reminds us that no one is beyond restoration if they are willing to do the work. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who believes in second chances — not just for others, but for themselves.

Spoiler alert: it’s not just about looks or sexual chemistry. Men want more than just surface-level connections—they crave clarity, partnership, and feeling genuinely wanted, too.

Powerful Tools to Manage Your ADHD Replay – EP 151
It's estimated that ADHD affects more than 8 million adults (or up to 5% of Americans) and 6.1% of children. Unfortunately, many people don't even know they have it. For decades, people with ADHD have been ignored, dismissed and even derided. As one of the most misunderstood diagnoses, it's easy for ADHD to be treated like a joke or a superpower, even though it's neither. NYT best selling author of "How to ADHD", Jessica McCabe, dives deep into everything from how the brain of a person with ADHD works to how their loved ones can better understand and support them. Jessica opens up about what it was like to be the one with “potential” who could never quite bring it to fruition. Tap into this week’s episode if you have ADHD or love someone with it for some great tips on how to navigate it successfully. Watch the conversation on YouTube: SPONSORED BY: 7 Agents of Change Pack, visit to learn more: KEY POINTS & QUOTES: ADHD is not a joke or a superpower. Make space for hyperfocus but install guardrails in your mind to stay on track. Studies have shown that ADHD may be polygenetic. Pills don’t teach skills. Simply medicating your child is not enough. Instead of telling someone to “calm down”, try telling them to “slow down.” Try to work with your unique brain rather than fight against it.

How to Improve your Money Mindset Replay – EP 148
Former Wall Street analyst and founder of Empify, Ashley M. Fox, describes how simply putting yourself in certain spaces can create the opportunity to expand your life. You must create an abundant mindset in order to attract abundance. We attract who we are and not what we want; therefore, training your mind to believe you are worthy of things is essential to accomplishing your goals. Ashley dives into the alignment of priorities in order to create generational wealth and invest in your future. Those that are wealthy subscribe to the mentality that they are deserving of wealth. You must feel like you are worthy of the lifestyle that you desire to bring it to fruition. Watch the conversation on YouTube: SPONSORED BY: 7 Agents of Change Pack, visit to learn more: KEY POINTS: You have to put yourself in uncomfortable places to become comfortable. Trust that you know yourself better than anyone else. Do not allow others’ stories or experiences to determine your reality. Remove the psychological blocks and words from your mind that hold you back. Wealth does not have a benchmark. Investing is not an option, it is a standard. QUOTABLES: “You don’t attract what you want, you attract who you are.” “Your talent can get you into places that your character can kick you out of.” “If you have the money to spend on a company, you have enough money to invest.” “Learn the rules so you can break them like an artist.” “You cannot save your way to wealth.” CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST: Ashley M.

Are you confused and frustrated out here in these dating streets? With the rise of social media and its impact on who, where and how we date, it’s easy to get caught up in how love should look rather than what it actually is. As much as we all want love, are we really willing to do what it takes to obtain it, cultivate it and then sustain it for years to come? We're joined by psychotherapist, media personality, award-winning speaker and 5 time best-selling author, the “King of Breakthroughs”, Jack A. Daniels, to help give us a compass and much needed direction on the journey to finding true love and keeping it. From the three types of men women should NEVER date to the places where single women should NEVER live and what’s keeping you loveless, we are getting the goods straight from the “horse’s mouth.” Tap into this week’s episode and don’t say we never gave y’all nothing! Watch the conversation on YouTube: SPONSORED BY: 7 Agents of Change Pack, visit to learn more: KEY POINTS & QUOTES: "Your 'list' could be what’s keeping you loveless."

Key Tools to Overcome Toxic Shame Replay - EP 144
A lot of us like to point the finger and say that everybody else is the problem, but we very rarely talk about when we're toxic and when we're the villain in someone else's story. So how can we better paint the whole picture, have those uncomfortable conversations, and show up in a way that does not hurt the ones we love? Tune in as Alechia and Dani share their own less than favorable traits and how to work through villain to victim to powerhouse who shows up in the world with truly good intentions. Watch the conversation on YouTube: SPONSORED BY: 7 Agents of Change Pack, visit to learn more: KEY POINTS & QUOTES: - Nobody wants to be the villain - so where are they? - What are your toxic traits? - How to exercise the apology muscle - When did we forget grace and compassion? - The value of remembering when you were the villain - Choosing the right thing, even when it’s uncomfortable - Who do you want to be? How do you want to show up? QUOTABLES: “Victims sometimes forget when they were the villain.” “Understand to every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. Whether you're being a villain or not a villain, you're being a safe place or an unsafe place, it goes back to the decisions that you make about how do you want to feel? And then how do you want others to feel when you walk out of a room?” CONNECT WITH YOUR HOSTS: Alechia Reese For coaching, visit: http://gotvaluenation.com Instagram | http://instagram.com/alechiareese LinkedIn | linkedin.com/in/alechiareese Dani Bourdeau For coaching, visit: http://danifostercoaching.com Instagram | http://instagram.com/thedanibourdeau PRODUCTS / RESOURCES: For more info, visit their website: Like what you're hearing?

Overcoming Church Hurt & Trauma Replay - EP 142
Skirts below the knee. No jewelry, accessories, or makeup. Stockings in bed and no relaxing your hair. Does this sound familiar? For those raised in the church like Alechi, Dani, and their guest - religious trauma healer Pamela Merritt, this conversation is for you. Tune in as Pamela discusses church hurt versus trauma, how the Black community embodies religion, and the often confusing emotions around sex and religion. And be sure to lean in for her advice for reimagining your faith and reconnecting to the divine outside the church. KEY POINTS: Why is church membership dramatically dropping? Is the rise in community violence correlated with the lack of connection to spirituality? Do we need the church to teach us accountability and structure? The positive benefits of the church What trauma looks like and how it’s perpetuated from the pulpit How to nourish your relationship with the divine outside of the church QUOTABLES: “For black church kids, we embody the music. We embody the feel of church. We embody the culture. We embody the community that Black church gives us. So when people come to me for religious trauma, consultations, and they are transitioning, what I'm helping them with is understanding that their religious space does not determine the structure that they have to their life.” - Pamela Merritt “Once you understand who you are and what your needs are and what your beliefs are, you can reimagine your connection with the divine in a different way.” - Pamela Merritt GUEST RESOURCES: Pamela Merritt PRODUCTS / RESOURCES: For more info, visit their website: triggeredafpodcast.com Like what you're hearing?

And oftentimes, we've completely lost the right to even speak about this person because we have no idea who that person is anymore.

Tips to Overcome Mommy Issues

Tips to Overcome Mommy Issues
Being a mother has got to be the world's most thankless and difficult job. With its share of incredible highs and painstaking lows, motherhood is not to be taken lightly. While we believe in honoring mothers for all the love they give and the sacrifices they make, we also believe in telling the truth about the "mommy issues" so many of us have to talk through in therapy. As adults, healing from the betrayal and overcoming the trauma is no easy feat. Especially when that betrayal and trauma came at the hands of your mother. We are joined by health and wellness consultant, author and entrepreneur, Carlos Campbell, who gives us a candid and vulnerable glimpse into his own relationship dynamic with his mother and how it has affected his life, decisions and how he shows up in relationships. This conversation is for those of us on the journey to healing the mother wound as we learn to reparent our inner child. Tap all the way in to hear Carlos' incredible story and why mothers deserve honor and accountability. SPONSORED BY: 7 Agents of Change Pack, visit to learn more: http://triggeredafevents.com KEY POINTS & QUOTES: As a woman, learning to listen to understand instead of listening to respond to a man who is being vulnerable is an invaluable skill. Men are far more intuitive than they get credit for. Young boys should be encouraged to read more often. Some single mothers make their sons feel like their boyfriends, robbing them of a childhood. Many men feel a lot of shame and it can affect the way they view and treat women.

Overcoming Obstacles with Perseverance
Unleash your untapped power by tapping into the incredible strength of perseverance – even when no one else sees your vision. For many of us, the call to your purpose in life was not a conference call, it was a very private conversation in which only you know the specific details. It can be quite difficult to stick to the plan and stay the course when you have to be the visionary and executioner. We are joined this week by comedian Elizabeth Brunot to discuss the challenges one may face when you decide to risk it all and go for it! Spoiler alert, to go the distance you'll need a heaping dose of resilience with an extra helping of tenacity. Tap in to this week's episode to find out why vulnerability is a strength and how sharing your story can inspire others to live out loud. Watch the conversation on YouTube: SPONSORED BY: 7 Agents of Change Pack, visit to learn more: KEY POINTS & QUOTES: Vulnerability is a strength.
