When someone pushes your buttons—at work, at home, or anywhere—it can feel like all your calm and clarity vanish in an instant. But these uncomfortable moments are not just disruptions; they’re powerful opportunities for self-leadership and burnout recovery.

In this episode, I share a personal story of being triggered by my own financial planner, plus a client story from the workplace, to show how old patterns and fears shape our reactions—and how you can gently shift from reactivity to calm, clear response.

We’ll explore:
✅ Why burnout makes you more reactive
✅ What Polyvagal Theory and Internal Family Systems teach us about triggers
✅ Practical tools to pause, reset, and choose your best response
✅ How to stop giving your power away when someone hits your buttons

Takeaway:
These moments can become training grounds for self-mastery—not setbacks.
