Dear Reader,
How many times have you said...
"It's okay."
...when it wasn't?
How many times have you smiled instead of speaking up?
Said yes when every part of you wanted to say no?
Apologized for having needs?
Made yourself smaller so someone else could stay comfortable?
Many of us weren't taught to suppress our anger.
We were taught to call it kindness.
To keep the peace.
To avoid conflict.
To be "the bigger person."
To become so accommodating that we slowly forgot what we actually wanted.
But eventually...
that silence becomes resentment.
And resentment is often just unspoken truth waiting to be heard.
If you've been experiencing...
- swallowing your anger to keep the peace
- people-pleasing that leaves you exhausted or resentful
- trouble saying no without guilt following behind it
- shrinking yourself so other people feel comfortable
- feeling "too much" one moment and "not enough" the next
- low energy, sluggish digestion, or feeling disconnected from your inner fire
...this week's podcast series was created for you.
Because your anger was never the problem.
Suppressing it was.
What feels like "too much" is often just power you've never been given permission to claim.
