Anger, Rewired: Turning a Misunderstood Emotion into a Superpower

Anger is one of the most misunderstood emotions. We often associate it with danger, irresponsibility, or even evil. But in reality, anger is a vital tool—designed by nature to manage relationships, protect boundaries, and support decision-making.

In this episode, we explore the deeper architecture of anger: how it works in your body, why it gets dismissed or suppressed, and why angry people often act irrationally. You'll learn how to spot subtle forms of anger, how to use it to create safety and clarity, and how to transform it into a conscious force for connection in your relationships.

We’ll also walk through a few simple but powerful exercises to help you reconnect with your anger in a healthy, grounded way—so you can bring more presence and truth into your life.
