Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Controlling Your Emotional Triggers April 11, 2025 | Episode 5070 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ever catch yourself doing exactly what you promised you'd never do? In this episode, Scott shares a personal moment when he lost his cool with his wife - proving that even "Mr. Positivity" has triggering moments! Discover how your emotional habits can activate before your logical brain catches up, and learn Scott's practical three-step approach to gaining control over those unwanted emotional reactions. Featured Story Scott confesses to having a meltdown while trying to exit an airport parking lot after returning home sick from the Podcast Movement Convention. He could not stop the emotional cascade despite setting personal rules against such behavior. This relatable story highlights how we're all human, and sometimes our emotions override our best intentions, especially when we're tired, stressed, or not feeling well. Key Takeaways Your emotions serve as a personal alarm system, providing critical information about internal and external events. Triggers are often rooted in past experiences that resurface unexpectedly, activating robust emotional responses that can feel misaligned with current situations. Even the most logical people are emotional beings - understanding this balance is key to developing emotional intelligence and regaining control. Memorable Quotes "The better things are going on in life, the more challenges you will have, but that's how things are." "We're not designed to squash our emotional reactions - they're kind of like a personal alarm system." "Controlling behaviors that have been on autopilot for years takes work, but with awareness and discipline, you can change your response." Scott's Three-Step Approach Catch yourself after the trigger happens - notice your mistake and promise to catch it soon. When triggered again, catch yourself while being triggered and get control as soon as possible. With practice, you'll begin to catch yourself before the trigger happens and avoid unwanted reactions altogether. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Hey, hey, hey, it's a Holly Solo Mini Series as she joins us this week with a Nashville Trip Wrap Par-tay! Did you know she went to Nashville last week to mix and mingle with Podcast People? Did you miss our last episode? WTF, people? The last two weeks have been very important: We shared important intel on “What to Pack” for important trips, business adventures or vacations, “How to Pack,” “What Not to Pack”… it's been A LOT. Anyyyyyway: Holly packed her suitcase, full of Styles by Nolan, and she was totally ready to KICK ASS in Nashville at the recent Podcast Movement Convention. She needed to have her stylish self ready for long-ass presentations, photo ops, AND, a dance party with Quest Love as the DJ, y'all! Because of all the stuff we told you in the LAST EPISODE, you should know by now that you can't just pack everything in your closet for a trip. READ THE ROOM, People! This week, Holly is so happy to report that 1.) She did not overpack 2.) Her carefully planned outfits worked out perfectly, so she was confident at each and every event and 3.) Her new YSL shoes ripped her feet a new one with raging blisters. BUT, she did look AMAZEBALLS in her Saint Laurents. #duh Holly's first adventure into Podcast Convention Adventureland was steeped in uncertainty and anticipation. But, her actual experience turned out to be the BEST DAY EVER DOT COM! Holly tells us that met a SHIT TON of new besties. Podcast People are not basement trolls and are some of THE NICEST PEOPLE she has ever met. Being a podcaster is hard work, and so it was really great to compare notes and share sob stories with some of the best in the business. The best part? Holly reports that her outfits were a smashing success. We know that you were super worried! She felt great, she felt like she looked great, and she got a lot of compliments because she felt confident in clothes that fit her well and reflected her personality. So there you go. So let's go over that, again: She felt great in what she was wearing, because why? Because the clothes that she had fit her really well and reflected her personality. Did you take notes yet? We've only said it 345 times now. We learn about a TON of outrageous and fun new podcasts you need to follow – all run by fucking spectacular women. We also hear about Mark Cuban's appearance at the conference, where he wore freaking dad jeans and an Under Armor t-shirt. NOT. OK. Being a billionaire does not mean you can go out in your workout clothes. IMJUSSAYIN' Join us as Holly explains which of her outfits worked best and why. And, that because her new effing shoes hurt her feet so much, she was not able to over-sweat and ruin her Alexander McQueen dress. Details, people! Details make the diff!! And if you travel, you know what happens at airports: FASHION CRIMES!!! Holly cannot contain herself on this one, so be sure to check out social media this week to see the heinous crimes committed at the Nashville airport. We. Have. Photos. In other news, we have so much coming up in the next few weeks, you really need to subscribe and start planning your days around our podcast. Holly will be hanging out with her BFF Jessica Kupferman, the CEO of SHE Podcasts. Jessica is hosting a Huge Ass Live Conference in Scottsdale, AZ in October, so Holly and Jessica will be broadcasting live as they get her ready for her appearances. They will be taking smack, talking podcasting, talking fashion and cleaning out Jessica's closet in preparation of the October event. And speaking of that, Holly takes some time out to say: ASK HOLLY! ASK NOLAN! What are your wardrobe dilemmas? What do you need help with? Did you see Fashion Crimes you need to report this week? We want to hear from you! The Fashion Crimes Podcast is here to help you be the best you can be. Let us teach you how to be more confident, how to feel better and how to be better. And, hey! If you need a husband, Holly has news on that front, too. (OMG) In This Episode: [00:54] “So I really enjoyed it. I mean, in all honesty, now, I will tell you that I was warned that podcasters and podcast people in this particular industry can be referred to as like, basement trolls. I mean, as far as their wardrobes are concerned. But I beg to differ. It was really cool... people were super, super friendly, creating new relationships and networking. I mean, I had an amazing time. I mean, A-May-Zing.” [1:05] “I felt great, I felt like I looked great, I got a lot of compliments, because I felt confident in the clothes that I had really fit me well and reflected my personality. So there you go. So let's go over that, again, I felt great, and what I was wearing, because why? Because the clothes that I had fit me really well and reflected my personality.” [1:20] “I have a lot of new work coming up: all very different people, with the exact same problem: fashion and style is hard for them. It's too much work, and they don't know where to start. So they call me Yay! Really good on them! I mean, honestly, it takes a lot of guts to admit that you need help with something that you're not familiar with. And, then you reach out to the experts. In this case- that would be me!” [1:35] “And for that convention, we're going to be broadcasting live and recording, because I'm going to her house next week. We are going to be taking pictures we're going to be doing videos, we're going to be cleaning out her closet. So stay tuned for that, because this is going to be an episode that you do not want to miss. Jessica is fun, funny and a hot mess all rolled up into one. But don't worry, Boo! The Holly Train is about to roll in on that one. It's going to be amazing. I'm going to be ripping her new one, pumping her up, building her up. Jessica has got great style. She just needs a little help. It's all good.” [1:50] “I do want to say another reason why my outfits were so successful at the convention is because I did not overpack. I was not confused with a lot of choices because I already decided what I was going to wear each day and night. So I did not have a choice to like screw that up. I had to go with what I packed. And the most major packing mistake that most people make is just packing too much.” [2:10] “I mean, for example, my new besties, Erica and Jamila from the podcast “Good Moms, Bad Choices.” I am not afraid to admit I am totally in love with them. They have a cannabis and sexuality podcast where they talk about all things that they need to make them better moms, like sex and pot. I love them and I went to their breakout session. I mean, I literally stopped them in their tracks and talked to them about their clothes because they looked so great. And of course they're from LA. So, they were super fashionable. We hit it off immediately. Love Them!” [2:40] “I'm going to conclude with the fashion crimes that I did indeed see, which I would like to report were not from the convention. But, they were people that I saw at the airport, the Nashville airport. And don't worry, I have pictures of all these people.” [3:05] “My friend and I have always talked about fashion and fashion crimes. We always say look, if your house is on fire, what is your go-to? What is the outfit you're going to put on to run out of the house? Is it pajamas pants? No, it's not. I'm probably gonna throw on some jeans and a T shirt. And a bra maybe, it probably depends on how much the house is really on fire, grab some tennis shoes and run. I'm not going to grab my pajama pants.” [4:05] “I mean, she worked hard on this and everything did go together. But it was just a little fucking wackadoodle for the Nashville TSA line. But that was just my only complaint about her. I couldn't decide if I loved her or if I hated her, but I just thought she was unusual. And I did appreciate her being eccentric. I did get that, but we could have worked that outfit out a little bit better. But you know, again, I noticed her and she was definitely podcast worthy.” [6:00] “But you know, those are the fashion crimes that I did see. And you know, it was a little scary. I'm not going to lie, but I lived. I worked it out. I loved it and I always enjoy. My favorite thing to do is to sit in the airport and people watch because people are dressed so terribly or they look great, or they look completely normal and fine. But what I've always wanted to do since I started my styling business, I've always wanted to set up an airport booth, like one of those kiosks next to the information booth, and give out free fashion advice because, dammit, people need that, especially in the airport.” [8:30] “Let's reconvene next week while I will be at the podcast in the Queens home of Miss Jessica Kupferman, going through her shit, throwing it away, keeping the best of the best, making her look like a frickin' supermodel and I'm uncovering the beauty queen that she is, while really ripping her a new one, ‘cuz it's all right. We've all been there, and we're going go shopping. We're going to be throwing out her clothes, we'll be keeping her clothes, we'll be donating some of her stuff. It's going to be great.” [9:45] “I'm doing good things in the world people. And I just wanted to leave by saying I want to know what you guys want to hear. Send me a message on my Instagram account, or you can put it on Fashion Crimes Podcast social, whichever you want. My personal styling account is Holly Katz Styling. Tell me what you want to hear. What do you want to hear? Do you want to hear more interviews from designers? Do you want to hear about local designers? Tell me where you live. I will look up local designers in your area so we can interview some people.” [11:00] “I want to inspire you about fashion and style. Let me be your fashion Yoda. You know, I have been called the Dating Yoda, too. And I will say this, I have created a marriage. I create marriages. Did you know that? Did you know that through fashion and style, if you're single, you never know who you're going to meet, you might meet your husband. You don't know!” . Key Takeaways: Planning and packing can take all the stress out of traveling and ensure you will look your best at any event.

So let's go over that, again: I felt great in what I was wearing, because why? Because the clothes that I had fit me really well and reflected my personality.” – Holly “I was going to wear something else that I've worn previously that week, but I decided not to. I decided that, “You know what? I'm going to be an adult. And I'm not going to spill shit all over my white dress.” So there you go. – Holly at the dance party with Quest Love wearing Alexander McQueen.
Hello everyone! Welcome back to Childless, not by Choice, where my mission is to recognize and speak to the broken hearts of childless not by choice women, and men, around the world. Civilla Morgan here. I am spreading the great news that we can live a joyful, relevant, and fulfilled life, although we could not, did not, have the children we so wanted. •Patreon Contributors: (Patreon contributors are those who have taken an interest in my platform whether they fit the childless not by choice demographic or not.

Podcast Movement 2018 is being held in Philadelphia, PA, this year. Technically it’s my first visit, but my voice went to Podcast Movement 2017 which was held in Anaheim, as I was asked to do voice over at that event for the award ceremony segment. Well, as I speak, it is the morning of day 2 of the convention. I had to grab coffee on the way to this recording to be sure I was coherent! I would like to thank the people at Talkshoe for affording me the opportunity to record live from Podcast Movement 2018! Thank you Talkshoe! And I would also like to thank Heil, the makers of microphones, headphones, and pertinent audio and sound gear. And of course Steve Stewart, Podcast Producer, Director of FinCon Podcast Network. Well, if you’ve been listening to Childless not by Choice for any length of time, you know how much I love the medium of podcasting because it has allowed me to get the word out globally that we, the childless not by choice community, does exist, in plain sight! I am blessed to be able to attend Podcast Movement 2018, as it adds another layer of learning and going to the next level in my commitment to you and to the craft that allows me to speak directly to you. Well, as the month of July comes to a close, so does my month-long celebration of three years of podcasting. The celebration may be coming to an end, but the joy in my heart because I get to give a voice to us, and I get to encourage you, that will continue on. Thank you for celebrating with me this month! In fact, the only thing cooler is when I get to hear from you when you’ve listened to an episode that helped you so much, like this message I received via Facebook DM: Quote: ‘Hi Civilla! I was listening to your podcast episode 59 Endometriosis. I was suffering from that horrible disease for years and years since I was 22 yrs old. I remember you told me that you noticed a turn for the better in my comments on FB. Well, I did some of the things that you talked about in the podcast. I went to talk therapy, got several medical opinions regarding the disease in my body, and I found a doctor that did the Excision of Adhesion surgery. And I’ve been great ever since! Only I haven’t gotten pregnant. But at least I feel better, ttyl.’--TG. --unquote. Wow! It doesn’t get any better than this! You know, as I read that message the first time, I was so touched by the timing. I tend to get a message or email like this right after I finished wondering if I am really getting through to anyone! It never fails! Lol! As I read it again, I started thinking about how my suggestions are based on personal experiences. Honestly, it is sometimes bittersweet. as I sometimes look back on my experiences, and there are things I wish I had done, or done differently or things that I had known. But I can’t dwell back there, in the past. And neither can you. We must look ahead, face forward even if we still feel immobilized by grief. Here is another message I received just a couple days ago, from a Childless not by Choice with Civilla Morgan Facebook group member: I just listened to this podcast and I'm very grateful that something like this is available for I wouldn't be around since experiencing becoming childless.... I also watched the youtube video by Dr. Cristina and it hit the nail about what I'm dealing with... I still have my down days and I have not attended anything dedicated to children (recently a baby dedication happened at church which I saw ahead of time when it was going to happen so I didn't go)... I know by listening to these podcasts will help encourage me to keep looking up and finding that acceptance to being childless... as I'm approaching a year of my surgery... I looking at this from a different angle and now hope that churches see that this is a real deal and they should open their hearts to those of us who are not able to have children so they can see we are as important just like the mommies and daddies...Thank you Civilla for putting these together for I know I am not alone and even with tears falling that I am loved and valuable even though I can't have my own children.--Staci M. She is referring to episode 91--celebration of three years of podcasting. And the YouTube video she is referring to, I will put the link in the show notes. THAT is a powerful video by a wonderful doctor, who is childless not by choice. Look, It is already difficult enough that grief comes in waves, and as we move along in our journey the time between each wave can be longer than when we first realized we would not have children. In the beginning, the waves were seconds or minutes apart. Now, they may be days and months apart. And yes, there are triggers. And the triggers are different for everyone. And triggers can bring a wave crashing into our peaceful surf. You guys know how much I love the beach! Don’t ignore your triggers, but do not allow them to run your life either. Recognize them, do what you must to manage them: see a therapist. Remember episode 88, where I interviewed Licensed Therapist Christy Jordan? Her contact information is in the show notes for that episode. And I will be adding her information to the Resource tab on the website. Talk to a trusted friend or spiritual leader. Join a virtual community like ours which is on the website, www.childlessnotbychoice.net, or search for a local area MeetUp with a positive spirit, or vibe. It doesn’t make sense to sit and chat with women who are also childless and come away from the conversation feeling more depressed. And remember, if you would like to speak with me one on one, the instructions are on the Shop tab on the website. Bottom line, there is nothing wrong with triggers. We are humans dealing with something that in most cases we did not think we would have to. Especially when we are surrounded by family members who had multiple children with no problem. And of course remember to get a second opinion, as TG did, in the above message. Second opinions are very important, especially if what the first opinion is suggesting is questionable in your mind, or irreversible. This is why I say it so often: get a second opinion. Getting a second opinion is not disrespectful to your doctor. Indeed, they almost always expect you to do it when they give you a bad report. So please do not be afraid. You only have one body. And if they are talking hysterectomy, you only have one uterus. Review all of your options. It took me 10 years to come to the realization that my only option would be a hysterectomy. No doctor could convince me before I was ready. And they did try. That was the reason for my requesting a second opinion. A doctor who instantly suggested a hysterectomy after my first visit. This was although he knew I had no children. He asked if I wanted children, and I told him I did. I left his office and never went back. My new OB/Gyn would be the one who stood by me as I waited, hoping to meet Mr. Right. It was only when I finally decided to have the hysterectomy, that he advised me I would have an exponentially better quality of life, I did not care. I was about to lose the ability to carry a baby. And none of it was fair. I felt good the morning of the surgery. I felt strong. I felt a little twinge of ‘what have I done?’ after the surgery, but honestly, it did not last long. There was that moment I have told you guys about where I cried incessantly until I decided to visit a psychiatrist, but my OB/GYN was right, my quality of life has gotten better exponentially. What I am saying is, find a doctor you trust, review his or her findings, and make a decision. Don’t blow things off especially if a cancer diagnosis is involved. I did not have that diagnosis, so waiting around for Mr. Right for 10 years was uncomfortable, embarrassing, depressing, but cancer was not a part of my story. Bottom line, exercise common sense, have a say in your treatment and do what is best for you. It is your body! And remember, if you do have a hysterectomy, there is a PDF on the Resource tab for post-hysterectomy care. I can’t tell you why doctors do not tell their patients the practical things, like waiting a few weeks before wearing heels. Heels put pressure on your midsection that you do not feel until you have a surgery like that. That is no good for the healing process. Wear loose clothing the first few days or weeks. I still cannot answer the question as to why I wore jeans with a belt to an MD appointment shortly after one of my several myomectomies. Common sense things like these will help you heal faster. Check out the PDF list for more information. And thanks again for tuning in. Until next time, bye!
