Let's talk about anger - IGTV

Erika Cramer
About this episode

I want to chat about a topic we don’t talk about much - Anger.

Anger can mess you up and make you feel out of control. 

All my childhood trauma caused me to build a hard outer shell, refuse to let anyone in, and constantly have my guard up. Does that sound familiar?

But the shit that protected you as a child, will fuck you over as an adult.

I’ve learnt that true strength comes from exposing yourself and being vulnerable. I had to do the work to become softer so I could grow and let others in. 

Become the lioness in the room. Use your anger, don’t let it use you. 

Don’t give anyone the power to make you feel like shit. Take a deep breath and reflect on why you’re getting angry. 

Anger isn’t bad, it can be a very useful tool. I’ve always got my alter shego ‘Juanita’ in my pocket ready to go. From anger comes action but it has to be the right action. 

Don’t cut yourself off from everyone. Life is about living and we have no control. So live your life to the fullest. Let love in, love passionately and connect with others.
