Making Space for Grief and Anger

Grief is always in the room—and in this raw and powerful conversation, Becky and Taina explore the emotional weight of loss, anger, and what it means to truly feel your feelings. They unpack their personal experiences with recent death, the stigma around female rage, and why American culture is so broken when it comes to grief. From pet loss to patriarchal mindsets, they dive deep into the intersections of anger and grief, why somatic expression matters, and how caretaking roles often obscure our own needs. This episode is a tender reminder that grief and joy, anger and love, can—and do—coexist.

Discussed in this episode

  • Why grief is always present—even when we don’t acknowledge it
  • How female anger is suppressed (and why that’s dangerous)
  • The myth of the angry Black woman
  • Why anger and grief are somatic experiences, not just mental
  • How American culture fails at grief
  • The emotional labor of caretaking and parenting during loss
  • Ways we gaslight ourselves through loss
  • Visualization and embodiment practices for emotional release

Resources mentioned

  • "Uses of Anger" by Audre Lorde
  • The Emotions Wheel
  • Bernadette Pleasant, The Emotional Institute
  • "Patriarchy Stress Disorder" by Dr. Valerie Rein
