We're talking about what's *really* going on when we feel angry. Experiencing anger is normal -- we are human -- but it doesn't have to be our norm. Beneath the rage are always other emotions, emotions that can give us useful information and help us understand ourselves and others more deeply. This conversation is all about getting curious and handling our anger in a productive way. We mention Emily Terrani, who gives tons of valuable content on emotions and being peacefully productive. Just a reminder that we are not licensed mental health professionals; if you feel like you could use some more support working through these heavy emotions, we highly recommend speaking to a licensed therapist. -- Charlotte + Leslie are best friends, yoga teachers, and community leaders here to remind you that you are not alone, wellness isn't always easy, and it's even harder without community.
