23. Mums: A Simple Tool to Release Anger Fast Without Shame

When your child is melting down, the noise feels too much, and you can feel anger rising fast in your own body... Have you ever noticed what children naturally do in those moments, before they can even explain what they're feeling? In this deeply personal episode, I share my experience of navigating anger in motherhood, the pressure to stay composed, and what I learned about the body's instinctive need to release big emotions - something children do naturally, but adults have been taught to suppress. In this episode, you'll discover: • how to release anger before it turns into shouting • what children can teach us about emotional regulation • why physical expression helps move emotions through the body • how to let go of shame around healthy emotional release Find me online: Website: https://www.rosiegwen.com [https://www.rosiegwen.com/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rosiegwen_/ [https://www.instagram.com/rosiegwen_/] Newsletter: https://www.rosiegwen.com/podcast [https://www.rosiegwen.com/podcast] Music: https://www.purple-planet.com [https://www.purple-planet.com/]
