9. Too Angry to Be Nice - When Good Girls Get Mad

What this episode covers

Ever felt like you’re too angry to be nice — or too scared of anger to let it show at all?Yeah. Us too.In this episode of Too Much, Apparently, we (Carly and Alice — two therapists and recovering perfectionists with squishy brains) get honest about our complicated relationships with anger. The kind that’s been labelled “too much”, “too dramatic”, or “not very nice” — especially if you grew up being praised for being the good girl.We talk about what it’s like to finally admit that sometimes you’re not fine, you’re furious — and how learning to make space for anger can actually make you softer, safer, and more self-respecting.This time we talked about:🎙️ We’ve felt this thing too (and we still do): the fear of being seen as “too much”, the shame of expressing anger, and the exhaustion of always trying to be kind.👀 What it looks like in real life: swallowing your feelings, replaying arguments in your head, or exploding after one small thing tips you over the edge.🧠 Why our brains do it: childhood conditioning, trauma, people-pleasing, and the belief that being angry makes us bad.🧍🏽‍♀️🧍🏻 The different ways it shows up: quiet resentment, moral outrage, bottled-up rage, or the physical heat of anger trapped in your chest.🧰 Coping mechanisms: noticing the first flickers before the explosion, journalling, movement, validation, and letting anger be a guide — not a flaw.🌱 How to make peace with it: anger isn’t the enemy; it’s a signal. It tells you what matters and where your boundaries live.Thanks for listening💛💜🩷🩵🧡💬 New episodes every Monday.🎧 Follow now to join the conversation.🧡 CONNECT WITH US🎙️ Podcast socials:→ Instagram: @toomuchapparently→ TikTok: @toomuchapparently→ YouTube: Too Much, Apparently→ Website: www.toomuchapparently.com👩‍💻 Carly Radford:→ Website: www.carlyradford.com→ Instagram: @the_sensitivity_therapist👩🏻‍💻 Alice Tew:→ Website: www.alicetew.com→ Instagram: @reparentingwithalice📩 Email us: [email protected]🗓️ New episodes every MondayThis is a podcast that says: bring your too-muchness… we’re here for it.Disclaimer: This podcast isn’t therapy and isn’t a substitute for professional support.

Wounded Warriors of the Cross Gary Pastoral and clergy mental health is a mostly ignored area, especially by those who live their lives as pastors in the clergy. The stigma of mental health within those who serve in the shadow of the cross is something that invokes the stigma of fear. Many of those in the clergy will choose to suffer in their despair rather than reaching out for help. Sometimes those suffering choose to wait until it's too late to get the real help that they need. At Wounded Warriors of the Cross our mission is to lift the stigma and the veil of silence that encompasses clergy mental health and assist those who suffer in silence. Wounded Warriors of the Cross is here to shed the light of Christ's love into those dark places.
