The Aligned Founder Podcast

Helping entrepreneurs build companies in a new way

The Aligned Founder podcast is a show that supports entrepreneurs on the journey to building successful companies.

 

On the show, we take a look behind the curtain at what’s really happening in the mind of a founder, and how their personal life & deeper fears can impact their business decisions, company culture, and overall happiness.

We explore the raw & untold stories of entrepreneurs & the challenges they face – while helping you to overcome your own obstacles and giving you the tools to achieve success in a more balanced way.

In this episode of the Aligned Founder Podcast, Pete and René unpack the concept of emotional triggers – those intense, often automatic reactions that can surface even after years of personal development work. Whether it’s a difficult person, a tough conversation, or an offhand comment, emotional triggers can hijack your peace and clarity in an instant.

Pete brings a scientific lens to why emotional triggers occur, how the nervous system responds, and what happens when we leave them unresolved. René shares his personal experience navigating triggers and the powerful tools he’s used to reduce their impact on his everyday life.
