In today’s episode, rancher and business owner Caroline Nelson is here to talk about anger, shame, and releasing emotions. What started as burnout (in motherhood, business, and more) quickly turned into something deeper. Through that awareness came a pivotal shift: recognizing a lack of true worthiness. Not confidence or capability, but deep, internal worthiness. After that, everything began to change!

Caroline and I also talk about the role of anger in healing (and why it’s not something to avoid), how shame can keep us stuck, the physical side of healing, what it actually looks like to start showing up for yourself, and more.

This conversation is honest, layered, and FULL of moments that might make you pause and reflect on your own patterns. If you’ve ever struggled with anger, shame, or releasing emotions (yep, talking to myself here), you don’t want to miss this episode!
