EP 148 Suppress, Explode, Repeat: How I Learned to Stop Fighting Anger and Start Listening to It

For most of my life, I believed I was a calm person—until a therapist told me otherwise. This episode is about my journey with anger: from growing up in an environment where anger was seen as a sin, to suppressing it until it exploded, to finally learning how to sit with it, listen to it, and find healthier outlets. I talk about childhood, therapy, teaching boys about emotional space, and the things that help me process anger today—whether it’s working out, cold plunges, or mosh pits. If you’ve ever struggled with anger or felt like you weren’t allowed to express it, this episode is for you. Maybe anger isn’t the enemy. Maybe it just wants to be heard.
