Angry At The Right Things

In this raw and informative conversation between Bronwyn and the host of ThERINpy podcast, Erin Washington, we help Erin reclaim her dignity by relinquishing the role of scapegoat she played in her marriage. We also discuss shame, parenting, triggers and of course, anger. 

Erin represents many women who are kind but naive to how they've served as a scapegoat for those around them, and Erin's journey is both inspirational and empowering, as she learns how to respond in a dignified but truthful way by being a "mirror."

Bronwyn and psychiatrist Dr. Caroline Giroux discuss the human need for closure and how this can foster compulsive control over our lives and those around us. We reflect on the role of shame in this formula, and how to release it -- giving ourselves the closure and completion we need.

Bronwyn and Alecia Jacobson, host of Spirit of a Badass podcast, have a raw and honest conversation about anger. We span from the personal to global, discussing the fallout of our lives, families and society, and everything in between. 

Starting at minute 31 we move outward, discussing healthy responses to what is happening in our world today, reflecting on how to cultivate hope while simultaneously feeling our anger at the darkness.

Forgiveness is a choice not to foster hatred, but it doesn't mean we don't feel it when we think of the person... or ride by their house. The relationship between hate, love and forgiveness is more nuanced than we've been taught, and is designed to give us wisdom.

Bronwyn shares with Katie the profound conversation she had with her mother about parental rejection, exploring the paradox of how children desperately need their parents but don’t know it – as parents are also the source of their pain. Bronwyn offers insights on being a secure base for our children.
