info_outlineAnger—it’s powerful, it’s fiery, and sometimes... it’s not really anger at all. More often than not, it’s just a cover for deeper emotions like fear, grief, or loneliness. And let’s be real—it’s way easier to say “I’m mad” than to admit “I’m hurt.”
In this episode, Rosie is peeling back the layers of anger and learning how to name what we really feel. Because when we do, we connect better—with ourselves and with others. So, here’s your challenge: next time you or someone else seems angry, pause and ask—what’s really going on? 💡✨

- Language matters—when we can accurately name what we feel, we can process it more effectively.
- Curiosity over judgment—when we assume someone is angry, we tend to disconnect. But leaning in with curiosity can lead to deeper understanding.
- A challenge to embrace—next time you feel anger rising, pause and ask: what’s really going on beneath the surface?
