Listen Later

Anger gets a bad reputation—but what if it’s actually trying to tell us something important? In this episode, we dig into anger as a valid, necessary emotion and unpack how our childhood experiences shaped the way we were (or weren’t) allowed to express it. We talk about emotional safety, self-betrayal, and how suppressing anger can quietly wreak havoc on our mental health and relationships.

Honest, reflective, and deeply grounding, this episode invites you to stop fearing anger and start listening to it.
