Little and big glitches both can knock you out of inhabiting your best self when you least expect it. Stress about her daughter’s upcoming wedding burst out in an unexpected way in Jenny’s morning huddle: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-center-for-medical-simulation/id1279266822

What makes us bring up the fists and start fighting, or as Jenny puts is, releases her inner magpie when her jewels are threatened? Becoming aware of what are those things that trigger us—that perhaps unleash an “identity snarl”—is the first step towards self-awareness.
