Ep. 40 | How to Soften Your Heart When Anger Takes Over

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

In today's episode, I'm talking about how to soften your heart when anger takes over — especially during emotionally charged moments like the holidays.  I share a raw story about a recent blowup with my brother and the spiritual tool that helped me melt the armor that anger had built around my heart. If you find yourself looping, stewing, or feeling hardened, this one is for you. We'll explore why anger feels so powerful, how it actually protects our deepest tenderness, and how even a small act of softening can bring you back to yourself. Question to carry into your day: Where in your life is anger building armor — and what small act of softening could help you return to your heart?
