Every person has a story, and some parts of those stories feel too hard to tell.

You are listening to, if you only knew, a mini series brought to you by the Happy Hour with Jamie Ivy Podcast.

On today's show, my friend Heather McVadden joins me and opens up about her struggle with anger.

Heather's words today will be an encouragement to anyone struggling with the emotion of anger.

When she explains where this emotion came from, a light bulb just might click in your own head and heart.

My hope for you is you listen as that you will not just hear about Heather's struggle with anger,

but you will hear the way she began to take baby steps in talking about her struggle,

from talking to her husband, to visiting a counselor, to reading books.

I hope that is the encouragement for you today no matter where you are.

Here is my friend Heather and her story.

Okay Heather, what is your if you only knew?

If people only knew that I yelled at my kids, I feel a lot of shame.

Yeah, that would be it.

So you know this is, this is, I'm not sitting here going, oh how could you?

So you're in good company with me, because this is something that I have struggled with a lot as well.

Now you have four boys and four boys.

Yeah, four boys is a lot.

I have three and I will tell you this though on a side note, I would take four boys over four girls any day.

So this is what I use.

Yes, this is what I use.

My girl, I love her and I'm so happy.

And you know, God does families the way he thinks best, but girls bring drama, but that's a side note.
