“Is that even a real thing?” she asked me after reading one of my blog posts. “I’m sure I have it, even if I don’t exactly know what it is.”
That happens more often than you’d think. We sense that something is off, but we don’t always realize how many others feel the same way or that it has a name. So let’s break it down.

This week, let’s dare to talk about anger. I say “dare” because anger can feel intimidating. We often dislike ourselves when we feel it. We feel unsettled when others direct it at us. And sometimes, we do everything we can to avoid it altogether.

Even before the pandemic took over our lives, I had promised to dedicate one of my blog posts to fear and anxiety.

That’s what led me to explore this subject more deeply and to write my thesis, titled Free Your Worries, Act Your Dreams.
