Ever had a small comment or situation send your thoughts into overdrive? That’s the spiral — when a moment triggers past hurts, and suddenly you’re reacting to more than what’s in front of you.
In this episode of Generate Joy, Amy unpacks what “being triggered” really means — separating the trendy social media version from the true psychological definition — and why it matters for your emotional and spiritual health. She’ll walk you through the P.A.U.S.E. Method, a simple, faith-based tool you can use anytime to stop spiraling thoughts and respond with wisdom instead of reaction.
You’ll discover:
- The real difference between pop-culture “triggered” and actual triggers
- Why your brain and body react as if the past is happening right now
- How emotional maturity helps you handle strong feelings in a healthy way
- A simple, biblical framework to regain peace in the moment
You are not stuck. You are not “too emotional.” And you are not alone. God is with you in the middle of the swirl — and with His help, you can lead your thoughts, protect your peace, and walk in joy.
📖 Key Verses: 2 Corinthians 10:5, Psalm 46:10, Isaiah 41:10

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
