In this episode of The Honor You Podcast, Melissa explores how honoring yourself is the key to dealing with triggers at work, and how doing this can help you reduce stress and prevent burnout. If your work environment often leaves you feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in rumination, this episode will give you practical tools to navigate workplace triggers with clarity, confidence, and self-respect.
Melissa breaks down why learning how to honor yourself is essential for emotional regulation at work and how it can dramatically improve your work-life balance, mental health, and overall job satisfaction. You’ll learn how to stop carrying work stress home, manage emotional reactions, and create a healthier internal environment, even when your external work environment feels challenging.
In this episode, Melissa shares:
- Why honoring yourself is essential for managing emotional triggers at work
- How unresolved workplace stress leads to rumination, burnout, poor sleep, and tension at home
- My personal definition of honoring yourself and how to apply it in real-time
- The powerful concept of “taking the trash out,” releasing emotional buildup from daily work stress
- How to recognize, respect, and respond to emotional triggers instead of reacting
- Practical strategies for emotional regulation, boundary-setting, and internal conflict resolution
- Why learning how to be happy at work is a skill we need to practice
I invite you to listen if you’ve noticed work spilling over into your sleep, your home life, or your peace of mind, and you’re ready to learn a different way to deal with it.
