✨ In this episode, I talk about my journey to understand and embrace my anger as a Black woman, and how that emotion has shaped my identity, values, and healing.

I share how my mother’s experiences with anger management shaped her parenting (0:09-1:41) and how her unapologetic expression of emotion became a powerful model for me (1:44-3:46). Even with her example, I grew up afraid of my own anger—deep, potent, and tied to early memories of injustice (3:50-5:48).

Through therapy, I learned that my anger is rooted in witnessing harm and injustice (4:55-8:44). My art therapist introduced “revenge narrative” exercises—not to seek revenge, but to restore balance, reclaim self-compassion, and understand what my anger reveals about what I value (8:46-10:04).

I close by exploring why anger is one of the most difficult emotions for Black women to express, and why embracing all emotions—especially the shadow ones—is essential for self-understanding, healing, and wholeness (10:06-12:17).

🌿 This episode is for anyone exploring emotional healing, inner child work, or reclaiming their voice.
