What does it take to alchemize your pain into purpose—and your triggers into triumph? In this powerful episode, Lisa sits down with the ever-impactful Alechia Reese, MBA, CSM: speaker, author, and host of the Triggered AF Podcast.
Alechia keeps it real about what healing actually looks like, beyond Instagram quotes and “positive vibes.” Together, Lisa and Alechia explore the messy middle of transformation, discuss how to honor your triggers without becoming them, and reveal why healing is both a personal rebellion and a collective revolution.
If you’re navigating trauma, reclaiming your voice, or seeking tools to thrive (not merely survive), this conversation is for you.
In this episode, you will learn:
✅ Why your triggers aren’t your enemies; they’re invitations to heal.
✅ How to stop performing strength and start practicing wholeness.
✅ Tools for navigating trauma while still choosing joy, softness, and community.
✅ What it looks like to build a life rooted in value, truth, and transformation.
✅ Why healing out loud is radical, sacred, and necessary for Black women.
Join us. Heal with us. Exhale with us. Transform with us. It is time.
