Minna Dubin came to a breaking point in her own mom life. Her rage permeated her body. She would have to clench her fists and summon all of her energy to keep it inside. She was furious with her kid for the big things AND the small things. The rage led to more rage. She took an anger management course. She went to therapy. And finally she did what writers always do and wrote about it. She expected to be shamed and trolled. And instead she heard from other moms who were also filled with rage. Who also needed help and a community and just someone to listen to them.

Rage definitely doesn’t belong on social media where we still see mostly picture perfect images of motherhood interspersed with wine moms bottling up their rage (in a quiet pretty way).

I wanted to chat with Minna about my own rage. My own exhaustion and the way I cope with wanting to scream at my kids and bottling it all up inside. Where do we put the rage? How do we truly connect with other mothers to quell our rage? We get into ALL of it and so much more.
