Ever notice how the days leading up to a family vacation feel more stressful than regular workweeks? Between packing lists, project deadlines, and sky-high expectations, many ambitious moms end up exhausted before the trip even begins.

In this episode, we unpack why vacation prep can feel overwhelming — and why it’s okay if not everything gets done. You’ll learn practical ways to stay grounded, set realistic expectations, and prepare for those “vacation moments” that don’t feel so relaxing (like sibling fights or clashing interests). We’ll also talk about why your body is the best tool to shift from rush to resourceful — before, during, and after your time away.

Need more support around rest and recovery? Don’t miss Episode 22 where we explore why doing nothing feels so hard and how to reclaim your right to rest in a culture that glorifies productivity.

Tune in for calm, clarity, and a little less chaos — even before you hit the road.

Anger isn’t just an emotional response—it’s a signal. And for many ambitious moms, it’s a frequent, familiar one. In this follow-up to our previous episode on feminine anger, we explore what happens after the outburst… or the silent simmer.

In this episode, we’ll unpack how chronic and chronically suppressed anger affects the body—especially digestion, immunity, and stress regulation—and why true healing goes beyond apologies or mindfulness mantras. You’ll learn about:

• The science behind suppressed anger and chronic inflammation

• How psychosocial and somatic practices can reduce stress markers and support immune recovery

• Practical tools to support your body’s restoration—from breathwork to micro-movements

• How anger can reveal unmet needs and hidden emotions when we listen through the body

Plus, you’ll get a quick script for a root-down breathing practice and reflective journaling prompts to reconnect with your inner calm and clarity.

Because restoration is more than rest—it’s radical self-permission.
And when we give space to our anger, feel through it, and uncover what lies beneath, we not only begin to heal physically—we also start feeling less angry. With awareness comes clarity, and with clarity comes the power to address our unmet needs instead of staying stuck in frustration.

In this empowering episode, we explore how the pressure on ambitious moms—and women in general—to suppress anger can take a serious toll on our physical and emotional health. Discover:

• Evidence linking chronic stress and anger to immune dysregulation

• Practical tools: identifying body signals, naming and pausing to process, expressing anger professionally at work

• A compelling scenario showing how work stress can spill into family life

This episode is your invitation to honor your anger, not hide it—and to model emotional integrity for those who matter most.
