Honestly, the way I show up now would have deeply triggered me six years ago.<\/p>\n

Back then, I would have found myself comparing, judging, and feeling ashamed\u2014feeling unsettled and insecure as I witnessed someone dancing freely, sharing vulnerable posts, writing poetry, and embracing their body with confidence.<\/p>\n

But why?<\/p>\n

Because deep down, those parts of me\u2014the ones that craved freedom, self-expression, and full embodiment\u2014were desperately wanting to be acknowledged. I longed to be free in my body, to love myself fully, to feel empowered enough to embrace my vulnerabilities and imperfections. Yet, I was shaming those desires within me.<\/p>\n

Those same parts of me were getting triggered because I wasn\u2019t living my truth. I wasn’t embracing my sexuality or being connected to my sensuality. I wasn’t loving myself.<\/p>\n

What I was witnessing in others was a reflection of the parts of myself that I had neglected, forgotten, or buried deep under societal and patriarchal conditioning.<\/p>\n

Deep down, I wanted to embody exactly what was triggering me.<\/p>\n

As a coach<\/a>, I see this often: we either inspire others to ignite the parts of themselves they wish to embrace, or we trigger the parts they\u2019ve been unwilling to confront. When triggered, people may project judgment and criticism onto us.<\/p>\n

And that’s okay. It may be that my energy<\/a> doesn’t resonate with you\u2014and that’s completely valid. However, it’s important to explore why certain people make you feel the way you do. Ask yourself: what within you is being reflected by that person that longs to be acknowledged and seen?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
