She Got Triggered. He Got Scared. What Happened Next Might Surprise You (Emergency Episode - Part 1)

In this raw and unfiltered emergency episode of Season 2, Lauren and Trey sit down early the morning after a seemingly casual Friday kitchen conversation triggered one of Lauren’s deepest source wounds. If you saw her 11-minute Instagram video (watch it here), you already know this moment hit hard—activating powerful, body-based beliefs and a flood of old, painful stories.

What was meant to be a lighthearted recap of how far they’ve come as a couple turns into something far more intense. Lauren vulnerably shares the inner chaos that took over—memories tied to scarcity, shame, and her family being barred from writing checks at the grocery store.

Trey, caught off guard, reveals his own fear response to any offers of service to Lauren: “Is this going to backfire?” he wonders. “I’m not your dad, and if I start to act like him, you should leave.” What follows is an unpolished, unscripted, and deeply human moment between two people doing the work—imperfectly and together.

They say there won’t be a part two... but there is. Tune in next Monday for the healing and surprising conclusion.
