About this episode

Emily Cleghorn discusses the misunderstood emotion of anger in motherhood and offers insights for healing.

In this powerful episode, host Emily Cleghorn tackles one of motherhood's most misunderstood emotions — anger. Emily compassionately explains how trauma-surviving mothers often suppress rage due to deeply ingrained beliefs that anger is shameful or dangerous. Rather than viewing rage as a flaw, Emily reframes it as vital information from your nervous system, signaling that something needs attention. She offers a transformative question to shift perspective: "What is this trying to show me?" Emily also invites listeners to book a free 30-minute heart-to-heart call to begin moving from reactive to responsive mothering.Ready to book your Heart to Heart?
