Episode 12: The Anger Nobody Talks About — Hidden Frustration, Grief, and the Slow Process of Forgiveness
Anger isn’t something men talk about after a heart attack — but it shows up more than we admit.
Not the shouting, explosive kind… but the quiet frustration, the short fuse, the “why me?” moments, and the resentment that no one sees.
In this episode, I’m talking honestly about the anger that creeps in during recovery:
This isn’t about pretending everything’s fine.
It’s about understanding where the anger really comes from — and how to move through it without shame.
If you’ve felt that edge in yourself lately, you’re not alone.
This episode might help you make sense of it.
