Why is it so hard for society to understand that feeling angry is just as normal as feeling sadness or happiness? Seriously—can we talk about that for a second?


What I’ve noticed time and time again while talking with women on their healing journeys is this: WOMEN ARE CONSTANTLY TAUGHT TO SUPPRESS THEIR EMOTIONS, ESPECIALLY ANGER. And honestly? It’s toxic.


If we reflect on our childhoods, it’s clear as day—no one taught us how to handle our emotions. Boys were told to “man up” and suppress their feelings, while girls were taught that anger was something to be avoided—because it made them "hard to deal with." What? So expressing basic human emotions like anger automatically makes you “too much”? Please…


Fast forward to adulthood, when women finally raise their voices and demand to be heard and respected, we get shut down and called “irrational.”


I remember being furious in school and in university when I saw injustice happening and what did I get? Told I was “IRRATIONALLY ANGRY” because, apparently, girls just don’t do that. Really? Girls don’t do normal, basic human emotions? Get outta here with that nonsense.


Let me be crystal clear—WOMEN ARE MAGNIFICENT GODDESSES on this Earth. And our menstrual cycles? They don’t just make us more in tune with our bodies—they make us more in tune with our emotions. We get to know what we can and can’t tolerate and when we express our anger, we mean it. That’s not some petty emotional outburst; that’s years of BUILT-UP COURAGE to finally speak up for what matters. So when a woman is angry, she’s not being “irrational”—SHE’S BEING AUTHENTIC.


Our conditioning starts in early childhood. All those “shut up” moments when we were told we were “TOO LOUD,” “TOO WHINY,” or “CRYING TOO MUCH”? That’s not too much. That’s society not being able to handle the RAW POWER OF A WOMAN’S EMOTIONS. IT’S NOT YOUR ISSUE, IT’S THEIRS.


So next time you see a woman struggling to express her emotions—because she’s carrying years of trauma—don’t judge her. Don’t dismiss her. SUPPORT HER.


Because women support women. And men? They need to support women, too. We all deserve to live in a society that doesn’t silence our emotions but allows us to express them freely—with respect and understanding.


So let's start to normalize women's anger or any kind of emotional health for that matter... One beautiful soul at the time!
