Trigger Happy Hour's Podcast
Pull up a barstool and join the conversation. Trigger Happy Hour is where therapy meets real talk; unfiltered, unapologetic, and healing. Hosted by Black mental health professionals, this show dives deep into the emotional triggers we face in our families, relationships, and communities.
Each episode breaks down the mental health stigma that’s often swept under the rug, especially in the Black community. From tough family dynamics to personal growth and self-sabotage, we’re unpacking it all. One trigger at a time.
So grab your drink, take a deep breath, and let’s heal out loud together.

Trigger Happy Hour's Podcast
Welcome back!!!!!!! Self-Care Ain’t Selfish
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Trigger Happy Hour, we unpack what self-care really means beyond bubble baths and days off. Self-care isn’t about escaping life — it’s about learning how to show up for yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically so you can show up better for everything and everyone else.
We talk about the difference between self-care and avoidance, why so many people feel guilty for choosing themselves, and how burnout, people-pleasing, and survival mode can make rest feel uncomfortable. Through honest conversation and real-life examples, we explore how setting boundaries, slowing down, and checking in with yourself can become acts of healing instead of selfishness.
If you’ve ever felt exhausted, overlooked, or unsure how to pour into yourself without feeling guilty, this episode is for you. Because taking care of yourself isn’t quitting — it’s maintenance for your mind, your body, and your peace.
