This week we’re discussing how to have the Courage to be Angry
Anger is one of the most misunderstood emotions, especially for single parents trying to keep everything together. Many of us were taught to fear it, repress it, or feel shame when it shows up. But what if anger isn’t destructive at all? What if it’s actually the part of us that wants to live, connect, and keep showing up for the things that matter?
To help us navigate this emotional terrain, we’re joined by Dr. Chip Dodd, author, counselor, and founder of The Voice of the Heart Center. With decades of experience helping people move from emotional disconnection to deeper purpose, Chip unpacks how anger, when understood and expressed in healthy ways, can become a powerful force for healing and hope.
Today, we cover three main points:
- Anger is not the problem, rage is.
- Suppressed anger leads to shame, anxiety, and isolation.
- Reclaiming anger can reignite our purpose and bring us back to each other.
