114: Becoming the Good Stepmom with Kristin Lindell

We, women, are socialized to suppress our anger. We're taught that it's not attractive. It might be scary. But increasingly, women in midlife are experiencing anger and rage, and we don't know what to do with it.In this episode of the podcast, we're exploring why we get angry, the purpose of anger, how it's communicating with us, and then what to do about it.Quite often, anger is communicating to us that a need isn't being met, or that perhaps someone has crossed a boundary. But then an overwhelming sense of anger, and our subsequent need to suppress it because it's scary, prevents us from exploring what the root cause of the emotion is.Listen in to learn about how you can use your anger to get what you want.Get full show notes and more information here: https://elizabethsherman.com/podcast/114Kristin Lindell Bio:Kristin Lindell is a certified life coach for stepmoms, a stepmom of 4, and a bio-mom of 1.
