Episode notes

Exploring different activities is essential in finding what brings you joy and what doesn't. Even small acts of self-care, like sitting on the couch or doodling, are important steps in the process. It's better to try various activities than to wait for a sudden realization of what you love. Focus on activities that cater to your own needs, as it is part of the journey to understanding what truly fulfills you.

Dr. Becky Kennedy is back to discuss something rarely talked about: “mom rage” – and the crucial connection between anger and our unmet needs.

What leads to these explosive moments – and why it's more common than we might think;

How understanding the story behind the rage moment can help us figure out what led to it and what we need.

The impact of society's shaming of anger in women; and

Tips for managing our anger, recognizing our needs, and taking care of ourselves.
