Summary
Today I am bringing you an interview with Adèle Théron. Adèle is an author, trauma and divorce specialist, founder of Naked Recovery and runs an award-winning 21-day divorce recovery program called The Naked Divorce. We have an amazing conversation about anger and how powerful of an emotion it can be for women to embrace.
So, let's talk about anger for a moment. It is such a misunderstood emotion. Anger management is really just anger suppression. In emotional abusive situations there is shame around anger. But as Adele explained, anger is a very important emotion for restoring self-esteem, self-love, getting out of depression and more. The beauty of anger is that it can blast through all of the noise. It gives you passion again. It cuts through all the deadness and resignation. Your anger might just be your greatest gift this holiday season. Tune in to find out more.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Divorce Survival Guide podcast, where we have open and honest conversations about co-parenting, separation, divorce, and the hardest question of all, should you stay or should you go. |
| 0:17.6 | I'm Kate Anthony, your divorce survival guide, and I'm here to help you navigate some of the |
| 0:23.5 | roughest waters you've ever swum in and answer some of your toughest questions. I've been to |
| 0:29.1 | hell and back, and now it's my mission in life to help you get to the other side of this process |
| 0:35.0 | with your sanity and your heart intact. Hey everyone, welcome back |
| 0:41.2 | to another episode of the Divorce Survival Guide podcast. I'm so glad you're here. I know we're |
| 0:48.5 | all gearing up for the holidays and I want you to know that if this is a hard time for you, I fucking get it. |
| 0:56.7 | Remember, my marriage ended on Christmas Eve. |
| 0:59.7 | So whatever normal holiday angst I had when I was going through my divorce and beyond, |
| 1:04.8 | I also had the additional trauma associated with all of it. |
| 1:10.7 | So when I say I get it, man, I really get it. And I want to make sure |
| 1:16.7 | that you're setting yourself up for as much success as you can right now. I want you to make sure |

| 1:29.5 | kids have the best holiday ever, all of that, right? Do that for yourself as well. Think of yourself |
| 1:37.3 | as another child who needs taking care of and nurturing this holiday season. Because in many ways, |
| 1:43.9 | that's what you are. You're in your |
| 1:45.2 | infancy again. You're re-learning how to do all of this. But because you're a grown-up, no one else |
| 1:51.3 | is going to take care of you. So you got to do it. Seriously, don't take this lightly. Don't be |
| 1:57.2 | the one kid who gets no presents on Christmas because you just didn't think that you were important enough to take care of. |
| 2:04.3 | So plan your Christmas Eve, your Christmas Day, plan your New Year's. |
| 2:09.3 | Take care of making sure that you are taking care of. |
| 2:12.7 | For the love of God. |
