In this episode of Trigger Proof with Mikki Bey: An Emotional Regulation Podcast, Mikki sits down with Torah Cents, emotional wellness educator and relationship guide, for a deeply honest conversation about why love becomes dysregulated when we abandon ourselves.

In “You Can’t Regulate Love If You Abandon Yourself,” Mikki and Torah explore how self-abandonment shows up in dating, relationships, and attachment patterns — especially for high-achieving, emotionally intelligent women who appear confident on the outside but feel anxious, unseen, or overextended in love.

Torah shares insight into how many relationship struggles aren’t about compatibility, communication, or “choosing better,” but about a nervous system that has learned to prioritize connection over safety. Together, they unpack how emotional regulation, boundaries, and self-trust are the real foundation of healthy love.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How self-abandonment quietly shapes your dating and relationship patterns

• The nervous system’s role in attachment, anxiety, and emotional reactivity in love

• Why emotional regulation is essential for secure relationships

• How to stop over-giving, people-pleasing, and ignoring your own needs

• What it means to choose yourself without shutting down intimacy

• How to move from anxious attachment to grounded, regulated connection

This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating dating fatigue, relationship anxiety, emotional burnout, or repeating unhealthy patterns in love. If you want relationships rooted in safety, clarity, and self-trust — not survival or self-sacrifice — this conversation will meet you right where you are.

In this episode of Trigger Proof with Mikki Bey: An Emotional Regulation Podcast, Mikki sits down with Megan Macpherson, founder of Yes God Wellness and a leader in embodied healing, nervous system regulation, and feminine restoration, for a powerful conversation about why true emotional healing doesn’t happen in the mind — it happens in the body.

Megan shares her personal journey of moving beyond intellectual understanding and into somatic awareness, revealing how unresolved emotions, trauma, and stress are stored in the body long after the mind has tried to move on. Through embodiment, nervous system regulation, and deep emotional safety, she learned how to stop overriding her body’s wisdom and start listening to it — transforming her relationship with herself, her work, and her sense of inner peace.

Together, Mikki and Megan explore:

• Why the body holds emotional memory even when the mind avoids it

• How emotional dysregulation shows up physically as anxiety, tension, and burnout

• The connection between the nervous system, safety, and feminine embodiment

• Why high-achieving women struggle to slow down and feel

• How surrender and regulation create trust within the body

• The difference between intellectual healing and embodied healing

• Practical ways to reconnect with your body and regulate emotions without force

This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating stress, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, trauma recovery, or a disconnect between their success and their sense of peace. Whether you are a high-performing woman, a healer, a leader, or simply someone longing to feel safe in your own body, this conversation will help you stop bypassing your emotions and start regulating them — from the inside out.

In this episode of Trigger Proof with Mikki Bey: An Emotional Regulation Podcast, Mikki sits down with her very special guest—her six-year-old son, Eason—for a heartfelt and eye-opening conversation about emotional regulation, big feelings, and the simple tools that help us move from reaction to response.

Through this honest and tender dialogue, Eason shares how he manages emotions like anger, sadness, frustration, and worry using deep breathing, pausing, walking away, identifying feelings, and choosing activities that bring calm and joy. What unfolds is a powerful reminder that emotional regulation isn’t something we learn later in life—it begins in childhood and shapes how we navigate stress, conflict, relationships, and self-regulation as adults.

Together, Mikki and Eason explore how emotional regulation skills are formed early, how co-regulation with parents and caregivers builds emotional safety, and why learning to pause, breathe, and name emotions creates lifelong resilience. This episode highlights how children often model emotional intelligence more naturally than adults—and what we can relearn by slowing down and listening.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why emotional regulation begins in childhood and impacts lifelong mental and emotional health

• Simple emotional regulation tools kids (and adults) can use to calm down and self-regulate

• How deep breathing, pausing, and identifying emotions reduce emotional reactivity

• The role of co-regulation in parenting, communication, and emotional development

• How to help children (and yourself) move through anger, sadness, and overwhelm

• Why play, time, and safe expression help emotions pass naturally

• How emotional regulation builds confidence, emotional intelligence, and resilience

This episode is a must-listen for parents, caregivers, educators, coaches, and anyone healing their inner child or working to improve emotional regulation, emotional intelligence, and nervous system regulation. Whether you’re raising children, leading others, or learning to better manage your own emotions, this conversation will help you stay calm, grounded, and trigger proof.

In this episode of Trigger Proof with Mikki Bey: An Emotional Regulation Podcast, Mikki sits down with Ryan Kassim, fitness professional and wellness coach, for a raw and eye-opening conversation about how emotional dysregulation directly impacts weight loss, anxiety, and long-term health.

Ryan shares his personal journey as someone who “did everything right” on the outside—training hard, staying disciplined, and chasing peak physical performance—yet still found himself battling panic attacks, emotional eating, and anxiety. Through emotional regulation, Ryan learned that true transformation doesn’t come from more willpower or control, but from learning how to pause, regulate the nervous system, and feel safe in the body.

Together, Mikki and Ryan explore:

• How emotional dysregulation sabotages weight loss and body goals

• The connection between anxiety, panic attacks, and the nervous system

• Why discipline and fitness alone don’t heal emotional eating

• How stress responses (fight, flight, freeze) affect metabolism and decision-making

• The power of presence, awareness, and the pause before reacting

• Emotional regulation as the missing link in sustainable health and wellness

• Why men and high performers struggle silently with anxiety and dysregulation

• How to move from control and self-criticism to regulation and capacity

This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with anxiety, emotional eating, weight loss plateaus, panic attacks, or burnout—especially those who feel frustrated because they’re “doing everything right” but still feel stuck. Whether you’re focused on fitness, mental health, or personal growth, this conversation will help you build safety in your body, regulate your emotions, and create lasting change from the inside out.
