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.

So grab your drink, take a deep breath, and let’s heal out loud together.

  • Episode 8 Season Finale- Self-Sabotage
    Dec 24 2025

    Ever catch yourself standing in your own way and thinking, “Why do I always do this?” 👀


    This week’s episode of Trigger Happy Hour gets real about self-sabotage—the habits, thoughts, and patterns that quietly block our growth, relationships, and peace. We’re unpacking why we self-sabotage, where it comes from, and how fear, comfort, and past experiences can have us choosing what’s familiar over what’s healthy.


    If you’ve ever questioned why things fall apart right when they’re getting good… this conversation is for you. Tap in, reflect with us, and let’s start calling self-sabotage out instead of letting it run the show. 🍸🎙️

  • Episode 7- You’re Not Alone: Parenting a Special Needs Child
    Dec 17 2025

    Send us a text

    In today’s episode of Trigger Happy Hour, we’re having an honest, compassionate conversation about what it really means to parent a child with special needs. From the emotional weight of diagnosis to navigating therapy appointments, school systems, advocacy, and relationships, we unpack the parts of this journey that are often left unspoken.


    Darnesha shares her personal experience raising a daughter on the autism spectrum, touching on isolation, grief, exhaustion, envy, and the constant balancing act of showing up for everyone while running on empty. We also discuss the very real challenges parents face—IEPs, OT, speech and behavioral therapy, lack of support, and the emotional toll that can come with it.


    But this episode isn’t just about the hard parts. We highlight the resilience, strength, creativity, and deep love that parents of special needs children develop along the way. We talk practical coping tools, advocacy, self-care that actually fits into real life, and the importance of building support systems that remind you that you don’t have to do this alone.


    This episode is for the parents, caregivers, and anyone who wants to better understand this journey. Your feelings are valid. Your work matters. And you are not alone. 🤍

  • Episode 6 Toxic Relationships
    Dec 10 2025

    Send us a text

    Welcome to the Trigger Happy Hour — where we take shots of the truth straight, no chase.

    Today’s topic? Toxic Relationships.


    In this episode, we’re getting real about what toxicity really looks like — not just the dramatic stuff, but the subtle, sneaky patterns we often overlook until we’re deep in it.


    We break down:

    ✔ What truly defines a toxic relationship (it’s more than just arguing)

    ✔ How manipulation, inconsistency, gaslighting, and emotional unavailability show up

    ✔ Why we stay even when it hurts — the trauma bonds, the hope, the cycles

    ✔ The emotional, mental, and physical impact toxicity has over time


    And most importantly, we talk about:

    ✔ How to recognize your own triggers

    ✔ How to set boundaries that don’t fold under pressure

    ✔ How to reclaim your peace, your self-worth, and your voice

    ✔ What healthy connection actually looks like after toxicity


    Whether you’re healing from a breakup, questioning a friendship, navigating family drama, or simply working on your own patterns, this episode gives you clarity, language, and tools to break cycles — not your spirit.
