E239. How to Stay Calm When Motherhood Pushes You to the Edge with Anna Mathur

How to Stay Calm When Motherhood Pushes You to the Edge with Anna Mathur Becoming a mother is often painted as a time of joy, connection and overwhelming love… but what about the moments no one prepares you for? The snapping, the guilt, the sudden surge of anger that can leave you feeling shaken and ashamed. Today, I’m joined by psychotherapist and bestselling author Anna Mathur, whose powerful new book explores a side of emotional life many women quietly struggle with- rage. In this episode, we’re opening up an honest and compassionate conversation about anger in pregnancy and early motherhood. Why does it feel so intense? What is it really trying to tell us? And how can we move from shame and self-criticism to understanding, repair and deeper connection?
