Ep. 6 - Triggers, Truth, and Passive-Aggressive Patterns with Matt Piper (Part 1)

In part one of this two-part conversation, Whitney sits down with coach Matt Piper for a wide-ranging talk that moves from current events to the deeper work of self-awareness. Matt opens up about his own patterns — passive-aggressive communication, the "shoulder to shoulder vs. face to face" dynamic he navigates with his wife, and how a childhood spent tiptoeing around his father shaped the way he moves through conflict as an adult. The conversation dives into intuition, adaptive-child patterns, attachment styles, and what it's really like to hold space for others as a coach — including the moments when clients project their own triggers onto him. Funny, candid, and occasionally uncomfortable, this episode is a reminder that the people closest to us are often our greatest teachers. Part 2 coming soon.
