Welcome to this week’s Start Fresh mini— a short mindset boost to help you reset and refocus for the week ahead.

What happens when two loose dogs charge into your yard, scatter your chickens, and leave you boiling with anger? In this episode, I share a very real, very raw experience that sparked more than just feathers flying— it revealed the surprising science of anger, why it lingers in our bodies, and how we can work with it instead of being consumed by it.

Anger isn’t just something that happens to us—it moves through us. Together, we’ll explore how to recognize the early warning signs, apply simple tools to calm the surge, and transform fiery emotions into valuable information that serves rather than sabotages us.

You’ll learn:

  • The body’s physical, mental, and emotional signals of rising anger
  • A quick emergency tool (the STOP technique) to interrupt the surge
  • How deep breathing and movement reset your nervous system
  • The power of perspective-shifting questions to diffuse lingering anger
  • Long-term practices that build resilience and reduce reactivity

If you’re looking for real conversations, bite-sized wisdom, and a fresh perspective on what it means to live a meaningful, well life—this is your space. Subscribe now and join me each Tuesday and Sunday as we explore topics that uplift your mind, body, and soul.
