    79. Releasing Mom Rage

    Our rage is rooted in unprocessed childhood trauma. I was never taught to process my emotions as a child. When triggered now, that old wounding reactivates. My body protects itself through rage, not realizing I'm an adult. We have two categories of triggers - external (chaos, noise, lack of support) and internal (beliefs, fears, trauma). External triggers are unavoidable as parents. But building internal awareness reveals why the external affects us so deeply. Through inner child work, we heal by naming emotions, visualizing our younger self, and uncovering root memories driving our triggers. Then we can reparent ourselves with self-compassion. Normalize the struggle - you're not alone. Act from your values, not just reactions.

    In this episode, I sit down with Amy Schoenthal, author of "The Setback Cycle," to discuss how major setbacks can unexpectedly lead to powerful breakthroughs for successful women. Drawing from her interviews with hundreds of leaders, Amy shares the four-stage framework from her book that helps individuals embrace pivotal moments and carve new paths forward. This episode dives into: Amy's four phases for the "setback cycle" - establish, embrace, explore, emerge - and how this cycle aids growth through challenges. The crucial role of self-reflection, values, exploration, and crafting a personal mission during setbacks is to realign with your driving goals. Overcoming common pitfalls like rumination, blame, and rashly jumping into the next thing without careful planning. Developing mindset shifts and comfort with discomfort is needed to experience post-traumatic growth and redefine success.
