Triggered and True
If you feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in cycles of shame, blame, and judgment, or just exhausted from trying to fix yourself, this is a place to breathe.
Triggered & True® is a podcast about emotional healing, grief, and self-compassion with Laura Duncan, creator of the Compassion Method™, and co-host Brian Freise. Each episode Laura and Brian get honest about shame, anger, anxiety, and the triggers that run our lives — and walk through healing that begins with compassion instead of self-improvement.
For over 14 years, Laura has helped people through trauma, loss, and grief. The grief that doesn't follow a timeline and comes in waves. Brian is living proof it works: after years of debilitating panic attacks, he found actual relief through the Compassion Method.
The method is three words: Awareness, Comfort, Discovery. Or put simply: Feel your pain. Get comfort. Go play. Because healing isn't becoming someone new — it's returning to who you've always been. New episodes monthly on the third Saturday.

Triggered and True
(Ep. 67) Confidently being You: Turning Triggers into Tools for Growth and Freedom
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this heartfelt conversation, Laura and Brian dive deep into what it really means to live as your true self, that place of boundless inspiration, optimism, and flow, versus operating from your triggered self, where external pressures lead to burnout and limitation.
They explore how triggers aren't enemies to avoid, but powerful signals revealing hidden pain, numbness, or suppressed parts of ourselves. By understanding and working
with triggers (like 'riding the wave'), we can transform them into catalysts for profound personal growth, better relationships, and even business success.
From navigating empty nesting and holiday shifts, to embracing weaknesses through delegation and collaboration, to building legacies that outlast us, this episode is packed with practical insights on accepting limitations without
shame, focusing energy on strengths, and confidently showing up as you, even when it's not perfectly received.
Whether you're facing life transitions, business challenges, or just wanting more authentic energy in your day-to-day, this one's for you. Tune in and discover how to access your inspired true self more often!
