In this episode of The Sounding Board Sessions, Nik and Emily launch a new series on emotions, starting with anger. Joined by songwriter and artist Shelby of Genoese Speed, they unpack their song “Appetite” and explore how anger shows up differently across gender, creativity, and lived experience.

They discuss the mixed messages surrounding anger, how it often masks deeper emotions and unmet needs, and share practical, body-based tools for expressing it in healthier ways. Blending music and mental health insight, this episode reframes anger as a meaningful signal worth listening to.
