I'm Ok Being Human: Recent Episodes
Becca Keyes
Welcome to I'm Ok Being Human - The Podcast. Hosted by Dr. Becca Keyes, a chiropractor and Neuro Emotional Practitioner in Chicago. On this podcast, we'll explore the human experience, the truth about being emotional creatures, and how to be okay with the things in your life that are holding you back. If you're feeling stuck in your life - physically, emotionally, or in any way - this is the podcast for you!
In this episode we talk about our triggers and where they come from. We are all triggered by something or someone at some point in life and when we can identify the trigger and work through the origin, we can heal from them and break the connection between our emotional state and the trigger. This leads to a more peaceful and open life, if that’s your kind of thing.
We cover:
- What triggers are
- Where they come from
- How to heal from them
- Who is really responsible for our triggers and emotions
“A trigger will only affect you if the wiring already exists within you.”

In this episode we talk about what holding space in a conversation looks like and why it’s such an important part of human communication. We all need connection with others to feel safe, validated, and understood. Sometimes that requires asking for a specific type of listening or feedback from another person to achieve those feelings of safety, but it can be difficult and awkward if you don’t know how to ask for it. By the end of this episode you will feel more confident in deciding what kind of connection you need in the moment and how to ask for it, as well as how to provide the right type of space for another person.
We cover:
- What it means to hold space
- How to be an informed speaker and listener
- The type of listening most often requested
- How to respond without judgement
- Asking permission of the listener before speaking
