Show Notes
In today's episode, I'm diving into the question: "What if anger isn't bad, it's just misunderstood?" Believe me, I used to be that person who felt guilty the instant anger showed up.
Anger doesn't disappear just because we pretend it's not there. It builds, simmers, and eventually leaks out in ways we don't plan for. Anger is just information about how our bodies are feeling off, unsafe, or out of alignment (kind of like how our cattle show us when the pressure isn't right).
Ultimately, anger isn't "bad" or the enemy - it's a compass pointing us toward truth, alignment, and authenticity. When we listen to it, we gain clarity, stronger boundaries, deeper relationships, and a whole lot more connection!
In this episode, I cover:
- What anger actually is + why it’s valuable information
- How guilt and shame differ + why shame often shows up with anger
- What suppressed anger turns into
- How anger was modeled for us growing up + that shaped our avoidance of it
- Why healthy anger supports boundaries, clarity & authenticity
- Simple tools to help you work with anger
