I Thought I Didn’t Get Angry… Turns Out I Was Just Really Good at Stuffing It Down

In today's episode, I'm diving into why I thought I didn't get angry, but actually, I was just really good at shoving it down. If you grew up in rural spaces where stoicism and toughness are celebrated, you've probably been taught to think that anger isn't safe.

Ultimately, anger isn't the enemy - it's often just the messenger. Let's stop shoving anger down and start listening to it with curiosity and care!

In this episode, I cover:

• How emotion is our first language + why anger is often the first one we learn to silence
• The double standard in how anger is handled differently for men vs. women
• What anger actually is
• Real-life examples of what healthy aggression can look like
• Tuning into where anger shows up in your body + getting curious about its message
• Reflective journal prompts to help you explore and reclaim your anger
