Trigger Happy Hour's Podcast
Pull up a barstool and join the conversation. Trigger Happy Hour is where therapy meets real talk; unfiltered, unapologetic, and healing. Hosted by Black mental health professionals, this show dives deep into the emotional triggers we face in our families, relationships, and communities.
Each episode breaks down the mental health stigma that’s often swept under the rug, especially in the Black community. From tough family dynamics to personal growth and self-sabotage, we’re unpacking it all. One trigger at a time.
So grab your drink, take a deep breath, and let’s heal out loud together.
