Summary

Today we are tackling something that doesn't get spoken about enough: anger. For mothers, it's a taboo subject - something to be swept under the carpet. But what we need to understand is that anger is a very normal reaction to stress. So what are the tools we can use to manage our feelings when anger takes over? In this episode, Zoe talks us through the in-the-moment strategies we can deploy when feeling overwhelmed by stress, and explains why we should recognise that anger can be an incredible force for change.
