    Rage and Acceptance

    In this episode of The Break Down Meghan recounts a deeply personal and stressful period when her husband was in the ICU, leading to extreme emotional and physical strain culminating in a road rage incident that served as a pivotal wake-up call for her to seek help and prioritize self-care. John expands on this, introducing the phrase "burning the pasta" to explain how minor stressors can trigger disproportionate reactions when underlying issues and repressed emotions are present, and goes on to tie it to the context of increased isolation and mental health challenges since the COVID-19 pandemic. The discussion emphasizes the importance of compassion, understanding the triggers for extreme reactions, and finding healthy coping mechanisms, to navigate life's difficulties and maintain mental well-being."
