I sit down with John Lee to unpack the critical difference between anger and rage. John shares his decades of experience helping men and women understand how rage can destroy connection, while healthy anger can build intimacy and trust.

We explore the generational cycles of rage, how it gets passed down to children, and what it takes to break free. If you’ve ever struggled with anger or felt trapped in rage, this conversation will hit home.
