We all get triggered sometimes—but those moments are often connected to experiences that shaped us more deeply than we realize. This month’s blog explores how to recognize emotional triggers, respond with greater awareness, and grow through the moments that challenge us most.
We’ve all had moments where our reaction feels bigger than the situation. Being triggered is part of the human experience—but it doesn’t have to define how we respond. Here’s how to recognize it and move forward with greater awareness.
Lauren Sisler returns to Beyond the Crucible to share the unimaginable reality of navigating loss—again. After building a life of resilience following the sudden deaths of her parents, Lauren faced another devastating blow with the loss of her brother, Allen. In this powerful conversation, she reflects on grief, identity, and what it means to move forward when life doesn’t go as planned. Her story is one of courage, faith, and choosing to live in the “what is” rather than the “what ifs”—while honoring the legacy of those she’s lost.

What separates vision from victory?
In this episode, we break down how the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon at Waterloo—and what it teaches us about leadership, humility, and execution. When the stakes were highest, Wellington didn’t rely on ego—he relied on strategy, trust in his team, and a clear understanding of both his strengths and his limits.
Because vision means nothing without the ability to carry it out.
Often the key to determining the way forward is to go back. To look back at our past, at our origin story. What did we love to do as a kid? What excited us? What energized us? What did we lie awake dreaming about? It is not a linear journey to linking our past hopes and dreams with our current situation or even the future, but there are keys of truth that lay hidden there. These keys, once we find them, can begin to point us to a better future.
We don’t have to live through every mistake to learn its lesson. Sometimes, the greatest personal growth comes from recognizing the impact of someone else’s failure—and choosing a different path. In this blog, we explore how reflection, forgiveness, and awareness can help break generational patterns and lead to a life of purpose.
