This episode might make some people uncomfortable. Because it’s about anger. Not explosive anger. Quiet anger. The kind you swallow to stay safe. I learned early how to be “good.” Responsible. Easy. Low-maintenance. Manageable. When you’re not allowed to express anger outwardly, it turns inward. It causes anxiety. Perfectionism. Control. Self-blame. In this episode, I talk about:
Staying in relationships longer than I should have. Tolerating what I didn’t deserve. Feeling resentment in motherhood and hating myself for it.And the quiet rage women are taught to suppress.
For a long time, I thought anger meant I was failing. That I was ungrateful. Selfish. Too much. I was wrong. Anger isn’t the opposite of healing. It’s information.
It tells you where a boundary was crossed. Where something wasn’t okay. Where you mattered, and weren’t protected.
And learning to listen to that? That’s freedom.
