Mantalks Podcast: Purpose | Legacy | Relationships | Self Mastery | Business

I sit down with Dr. Kelly to unpack what really happens when we get triggered and why it feels so hard to stay in control. We dive into how our nervous system hijacks us, how past experiences shape our reactions, and why awareness alone isn’t enough to change behavior. I also explore what it actually means to “keep your heart open” in conflict and how to take ownership without taking blame. This conversation is a practical look at how to respond instead of react, especially in relationships that matter most.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 What Is A Trigger03:15 The Three Step Trigger Cycle06:20 Why You Get Hijacked11:50 Regulating The Nervous System18:15 Fight Flight And Control Modes27:30 Control And Letting Go36:20 What Keeping Your Heart Open Means43:30 Sensing Conflict Before It Happens54:20 Taking Ownership In Conflict01:04:00 What To Do During Conflict***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?
