How My Marriage Coach Helps Me Navigate Triggers and Find Connection Dr. Kelly Flanagan E330

Today's conversation is with Dr. Kelly Flanagan—my marriage coach and a great friend I met back in 2019 at a couples retreat in Colorado through GoBundance. This episode gets deeply personal as I share the behind-the-scenes journey of how I'm working through my own triggers, especially as a highly driven entrepreneur trying to balance massive goals with being present for my family. Kelly and I dive into the splinter versus the trigger—whose fault is it when I get triggered? Are they rubbing against a splinter I already had, or are they actually putting new pain into me? We explore how my drive to 10x everything creates relationship collateral damage, and why I get triggered when I come home wanting adventure and connection but find problems waiting for me instead. This conversation gets raw about how I'm learning to hold space instead of jumping into fix-it mode, and what it really means to create safety for the people I love. Come learn alongside me as I work through this stuff in real time. 0:00 Intro 13:52 Triggers are like X's on treasure maps 22:26 AI accelerates revealing our blind spots 27:08 Authenticity as a top personal value 33:35 Seeking adventure and connection at home 47:58 Growing through conversations and relationships 52:06 Closing remarks and contact information Resources Mentioned: 📚 The Road Less Triggered by Dr. Kelly Flanagan (upcoming book, not yet released) 📚 Lovable by Dr. Kelly Flanagan 📚 True Companions by Dr. Kelly Flanagan 📚 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy 🌐 Dr. Kelly Flanagan's website: 🌐 Dr. Kelly Flanagan's Substack: 🌐 Connect with Wyatt:
