Show by Whitney Kell
In Part 2, Whitney Kell continues her conversation with Paula Devine, recovery coach, podcast host, and founder of Happiest Hour Concierge Sobriety, and this time the focus is on what this show is all about: triggers.Paula and Whitney break down what a trigger really is: an emotion that lights up an old wound and pulls you away from your values. Paula shares that when she was drinking, everything was a trigger, from celebrations and bad days to beautiful weather and girls’ nights out. Now, with years of work behind her, she’s learned to notice her triggers, like feeling unheard in conversations where no one asks about her, and turn them into awareness and compassion.They also revisit the moment that changed everything. Paula tells the full story of the night she blacked out, the conversation with her daughter she didn’t remember, and the morning her daughter said she was done. Paula shares how that moment led to a year of sobriety with her daughter before she left for college, and the close relationship they have today.In this episode, they talk about:What a trigger means and why the reaction often says more than the situationWhy everything can become a trigger when alcohol is part of your lifeBeing present with other people vs. being stuck in your own headThe Ho’oponopono prayer and practicing forgivenessNoticing where a trigger lives in your body and journaling about when you first felt itHow hormones and aging change the way alcohol affects usWhy your biggest challenges can turn into giftsIf you’ve been questioning your relationship with alcohol, or you just want a new way to look at your own triggers, this one is for you.To connect with Paula, visit HappiestHourAF.com, where you can book a call and see her upcoming events in South Florida.
