What if you could decide — right now — to change your story and create a new reality for your life? In this episode of the Triggered AF Podcast, Alechia Reese & Dani Bourdeau sit down with Stella Stephanopoulos, host of the Everyday Endorphins podcast, for a deep conversation on the power of the mind, the stories we tell ourselves, and how to cultivate joy that lasts.

Stella reminds us that we are not beholden to the identities or stories others told us. Through visualization, intentional decisions, and therapeutic tools like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), she shows us how to shift our thoughts, rewire our belief systems, and ultimately transform our reality.

This episode isn’t about toxic positivity — it’s about learning how to savor life’s pleasures, while also building an inner foundation of self-trust, self-talk, and resilience.

Emotional intelligence is for everyone. But, it only works when you work it. Emotional intelligence (EQ) isn’t just about managing feelings—it’s about thriving in life, love, and leadership. In this episode, Alechia and Dani unpack the five components of EQ—self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills—while sharing the real-life lessons many of us grew up with (“stop crying before I give you something to cry about”) and the lasting damage of words that cut deeper than sticks and stones.

You’ll learn why avoiding your triggers makes you fragile, how to use values over moods when making decisions, and practical tools to grow your EQ—like naming your emotions, reframing challenges, and practicing active listening.

In This Episode We Dive Into:

• Why self-awareness is the foundation of all emotional growth.

• How avoiding triggers keeps us weak, and why exposure (like emotional immunotherapy) builds resilience.

• The truth about “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” and the invisible bones words actually break.

• Why EQ is for everyone—and how to start strengthening it today.
