Mom Rage: Why It Happens and What It’s Telling You

Mom rage is far more common than most mothers admit - yet many carry deep shame when anger surfaces.   In this episode of Omaha Mom Talks, therapist and perinatal mental health specialist Nicole McNelis joins us for an honest conversation about why rage shows up in motherhood, what is happening inside the nervous system, and how unmet needs and invisible labor push many moms past their emotional limits.   This conversation is both deeply validating and highly practical - offering compassionate insight along with tangible tools mothers can begin using immediately.   If you have ever wondered, “What is wrong with me?” after reacting in a way that surprised you…this episode is for you.   Connect with Nicole McNelis Instagram https://www.instagram.com/therapist.mom.collective/?hl=en  Website https://www.nicolemcnelis.com Mom Rage Resources https://nicolemcnelis.com/mom-rage On-Demand Mom Rage Course https://www.touchstoneinstitute.org/trainings/maternal-rage-on-demand   Upcoming Live & In-Person CE Trainings:  San Diego https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/postpartum-health-alliance-presents-maternal-rage-ce-workshop-with-nicole-mcnelis-lcsw-pmh-c   New Jersey CENTRAL JERSEY FAMILY HEALTH CONSORTIUM: April 22, 2026 Listeners can get support through Postpartum Support International (therapy directory and free virtual support groups) https://postpartum.net/   Omaha Mom Talks – real moms, authentic conversations, no filter needed.   Connect with Me!!   Reach out to the Omaha Mom Talks Hotline: (402)965-1718 Need advice on a messy mom moment, wondering how to set a boundary, or want to share a mom win?
