Something about this felt timely.
If you read my email this morning and it stirred something — a fire, a flash, a lump in your throat — maybe this helps give it shape.
We’ve been taught to swallow so much.
To silence what is sacred.
But anger can be a doorway — not into destruction, but into deeper truth.
Not too much. Not dramatic. Not failing.
Just alive. And refusing to disappear.
𝗜𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮 𝗯𝗮𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻… 𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸?
For years, I believed the myth that if I let my anger show, it would mean I was failing as a woman.
That I’d be labeled difficult. Dramatic. Too much. So instead, I swallowed it. Smiled through gritted teeth. Pretended everything was fine while my chest burned and my jaw locked tight.
And maybe you’ve felt it too.
This is the myth I want to gently unravel today: “Good women don’t get angry.” Beloved, that’s a lie the world told us to keep us quiet.
Because here’s the truth: Anger is not a sign you’re a bad woman. It’s a sign that you’re a woman who’s alive. Anger rises in you because something precious is being threatened your boundaries, your integrity, your truth.
It’s your body’s sacred alarm, saying: “This is not okay.” The real harm doesn’t come from feeling anger. The harm comes from burying it.
When we force anger into silence, it doesn’t disappear. It festers into resentment, shame, exhaustion, and a deep, quiet grief for the woman we used to be.
Imagine a life where you can feel your anger… without shame… and let it guide you back to your truth instead of dragging you into self-blame. Because anger isn’t here to destroy your life. It’s here to save it.
You are not too much. You are not failing. You’re simply a woman whose soul refuses to disappear. And that, beloved, is sacred.
