When was the last time you erupted in a fiery rage?

I’m talking about a screaming, cursing rampage of destruction.

Or the second best option…

Screaming into a pillow when no one else is around!

When was the last time you let yourself feel and express every ounce of the anger you’re carrying around in your body? 

I’ve spent a lot of time feeling and expressing my anger this year. I’ve expressed my rage by screaming in the forest, releasing with people I trust, and in my basement during solo rage rituals. 

It’s been scary, intense, and liberating.

For years, I pushed my anger deep down inside.

My commitment to being a “good person” (someone who never gets angry) prevented me from being an honest person (someone who frequently feels angry), which led to being a stifled person stuck in a cloud of malaise. Oof. 

Obviously, this wasn’t great for my general happiness or my close relationships. It was also not great for my business. 

When you suppress anger or rage, you muffle the voice of your intuition. It makes it hard to know what isn’t serving you or what you need to change to have a healthier relationship with your business. 

Releasing rage helps to clear out the gunk your emotional pipes. 

It’s purifying and clarifying and absolutely necessary. 

Your business needs you to release your rage. 

But it’s HARD.

We’re taught that anger is a dangerous emotion to be avoided. This is just as true when we’re 4 as it is when we’re 40. It sounds like: 

“Don’t be mad. It isn’t that big of a deal!”

How many times have you heard that in your lifetime??? 

Answer: Too many.

People shut us down when we get angry because we’re conditioned to be scared of anger. But we shouldn’t be afraid. When we release our rage in safe spaces, it isn’t dangerous at all. It’s empowering! 

I’ve been exploring this with my private clients a lot this year. 

We’ve been taking breaks during our calls to have a good scream or creating space to imagine cursing at someone who has wronged us (including, at times, the universe). 

The results have been astounding. 

Instant relief! Immediate clarity! 

Seriously, there is something deeply cathartic about releasing the pressure in the Instant Pot that is your nervous system. 

I think I’ve fallen in love with my rage. 

And I want you to fall in love with your rage, too. 

Last week, I talked about healthy ways to express your rage on Afternoon Live. (They asked me to focus the segment on women and rage, but rest assured, this advice is not gender-specific.) 

During this interview, I talk about: 

🔥Why it is so hard for us to express our anger
🔥The difference between reactive anger and righteous rage
🔥How to know if you’re carrying repressed anger
🔥The best way to release your rage without harming others

I’d love to know… 

>> Does this conversation stir something inside of you?
>> How do you safely express your rage?
>> What is something you are SO MAD about right now? 

Let this email serve as your very own small rage ritual. 

Hit “reply,” and let me have it! 

I think you’ll be surprised what magic happens after you let it out.
