#2 – First Step in Change is Awareness

In this episode, we’re diving into anger—an emotion that’s often misunderstood but is actually a powerful tool for self-awareness. Instead of seeing anger as something to suppress or later regret, we’re exploring how to recognize it, understand what’s activating it, and use it to our advantage. We break down how to build awareness around what activates our anger, how it tends to show up for us, and—most importantly—what’s really going on underneath it.

By becoming curious about our anger, we can learn to see it as a signal rather than a problem. This episode is all about learning to pause when that anger flares up, giving ourselves some compassion, and getting real about what’s setting us off. Sometimes, anger is masking other emotions like fear, frustration, or sadness, and when we take the time to dig deeper, we can figure out what’s really driving our reactions. That awareness helps us shift from reaction to how we instead choose to respond.

Join me in today’s episode to gain practical insights on how to notice when and why your anger is activated, and how to use that awareness to make more intentional choices in your day-to-day life. We’ll explore a roadmap for turning anger into an opportunity for deeper self-awareness and positive change. By getting curious about what’s underneath our anger, we can live more intentionally, with less stress and more emotional clarity. Whether it’s learning to give yourself a
break or making bigger changes, this episode helps you get clear on how anger shows up for you and how to use it to move forward with more control and less reactivity.
