363 - Mum rage - what it is and how to manage it

In this episode, we explore a topic that resonates with many mothers – "Mum Rage." "Mum rage" encompasses intense anger, frustration, or irritability felt by mothers due to parenting stresses. It can lead to sudden outbursts or physical aggression, triggered by factors like sleep deprivation, overwhelming responsibilities, and childcare demands. These extreme anger episodes can surprise calm mothers, often sparking guilt and shame. Experiencing mum rage doesn't equate to bad parenting; it's a natural response to the pressures of parenting and life's emotional toll, reminding us of the importance of self-care and understanding. In this episode, I share some practical strategies to help single mums manage these intense feelings and navigate their parenting journey more harmoniously. By understanding "mum rage," you can take proactive steps and learn to manage its effects.  Links mentioned in the episode:  Click the retreat link you are interested in - Byron Bay Retreat and Sydney Retreat Click HERE to join the free Facebook Group, The Single Mother Survival Guide Support Forum.  Sign up HERE to receive your free guide on understanding "mum rage" and learn some practical ways to help manage it.  Click HERE to listen to our episode entitled, Asking for Help.  Join the Thrive Tribe waitlist HERE.  Download the E-book – Thirteen single mothers share their struggles, top tips, and their favourite things about being a single mother – HERE.
