Summary

In this episode, I delve into the complexities of anger, highlighting a number of ways that its presence is a pathway to healthier relationships. I discuss the importance of investigating anger rather than suppressing it and, furthermore, how societal norms, especially those dictated by systems of oppression, create extra burdens for melanated and marginalized people. I also share how anger helped me discover I was gifted and how it can help you understand your mind as well. I then provide actionable steps for harnessing your anger constructively to transform your life and community.

Key Points:

• Acknowledging anger is essential for manifesting joy.
• Understanding emotions is crucial for personal growth.
• Safety in relationships starts with Self.
• Healthy relationships require the ability to express anger constructively.
• Investigating anger can reveal deeper traumas and needs.
• We must create safe spaces for all emotions, including anger.
