It ebbs and flows in response to what’s happening around us.In this episode, we're breaking down the top 3 reasons why having a healthy and resilient nervous system is crucial, especially as a mom.So if you’re ready to get off the hot-mess express and are seeking more stability and resilience in the face of everyday challenges, this episode is for you!JOIN THE RESTORE WAITLISTBOOK A FREE 30-MINUTE CALL WITH MICHELLEASK MICHELLE A QUESTION!FB COMMUNITY: The Calm Mom CollectiveJOIN ME ON INSTAGRAM: @michellegrosser.coach“I love The Calm Mom Podcast!” ← if that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing our show!  This helps us support more women, just like you, on their motherhood journey.  Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.”  Then be sure to let me know what you loved most about the episode!

I usually see women deal with their anger in one of two ways.  It’s typically either “I’ve got a hot temper and it’s often on full display” or it runs more along the “I’m pretty chill, but I might be suppressing some anger” camp.How do you deal with anger?No matter which camp you’re in, anger is a completely normal human emotion, and most of us have no idea how to release it in a healthy way.In today’s episode, I go through 5 subtle signs that you might be suppressing anger without realizing it. Some of these signs are surprising physical symptoms (like headaches and gut issues) and some are other emotions (like resentment and frustration) that are actually manifestations of suppressed anger. Listen in as we explore the roots of suppressed anger and how it can be showing up in your life in surprising ways. BOOK A FREE 30-MINUTE CALL WITH MICHELLEDOWNLOAD “HEAL YOUR BURNOUT” PRIVATE PODCAST SERIESASK MICHELLE A QUESTION!FB COMMUNITY: The Calm Mom CollectiveJOIN ME ON INSTAGRAM: @michellegrosser.coach“I love The Calm Mom Podcast!” ← if that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing our show!  This helps us support more women, just like you, on their motherhood journey.  Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.”  Then be sure to let me know what you loved most about the episode!
