We are the author of our own lives, making the stories we tell ourselves, the stories that define us, and the stories that map out our lives extremely important. But sometimes the story we tell isn't truly ours, and it may even limit how we approach life and business. So how can we better speak to ourselves and curate our story to shift the way we move through life?

Tune in as author, entrepreneur, and expert storyteller, Jude Charles, shares his mission to lead and empower entrepreneurs to have relentless courage, find their voice, and write a new script for the best version of their lives.

KEY POINTS:

- What is the story you tell yourself? Is it even yours?

- Are you delusional or walking in your purpose?

- The necessity of purpose and clarity of vision

- Why you need to sit in stillness with your purpose

- How to shift your story to shift your life

QUOTABLES:

"Whether you believe you can or you believe you can't, you're right."

"Money isn't enough. The dream is never enough. It's the purpose."

In this episode, Alechia and Dani let you in on a little bit of girl talk and discuss the topics that may not always be politically correct on air. And today's gossip is all about red flags!

From thin eyebrows to a lack of effort, tune in as your hosts share their yellow cautionary flags and the red flags that send them running for the hills.

KEY POINTS:

- What do you do when you see a red flag?

- Tough love does not mean abuse!

- Why do we make excuses for people's lack of effort?

- Is it difficult to be happy for others when you're not happy?

- Gaslighting and love bombing

QUOTABLES:

"It's important for women to be able to identify red flags and also identify what your reactions are and if that is the healthiest reaction to when you see a red flag."

"I think it's a red flag when somebody always wants to point out what's wrong with you. And then never what's right. That is a red flag, and it's not out of love. We have to come out of this mindset that people who love us are cruel to us."

So how do we change what we think we deserve? And how do we prioritize rest and play, or frolic culture, in our lives? Tune in to your Triggered hosts and Cici Battle to find out!

KEY POINTS:

- What is frolic culture?
