Growing Through Maternal Anger
This self-study online course is designed to lift the lid on maternal anger, and offer you resources for inspired action and empowered change.
short video trainings
Modern mothers are often time poor and bombarded with an overload of information. So the trainings in this course are designed to be condensed and watched in short intervals - content is approx 3.5 hrs in total length.
action items
Learning new information is one thing, and implementing it is another. Each module of the course contains ‘action items’ to encourage you to put changes these into practice and apply them to your own life.
no misleading promises
This is not a course that promises you’ll never yell again or experience anger. Such claims are misleading and only contribute to more pressure, guilt and anger! Anger is your information and fuel for growth.
Anger is a normal human emotion, that is neither ‘good’ or bad’. Yet mothers are expected not to feel this emotion, or are judged (and judge themselves) when they inevitably do.
The realities of intensive motherhood in our culture, only intensifies the pressures on mothers that lead to feelings of anger.
But because of our social understandings of the ‘perfect Mum’, mothers’ feelings of anger are often silenced and unspoken.
Feelings of anger provoke guilt, stigma, isolation, shame. It can make you feel like you are not a ‘good enough mother’.
This shame and silencing drives isolation and can actually intensify our anger as mothers.
I believe that if we are silenced, shamed, and shunned for our anger (both by ourselves and others) then we cannot fully know, understand, explore, process, and grow through our anger.

What this course is not.
Anger can be both normal, and a feature of a postnatal mood disorder such as postnatal depression or anxiety, please contact a health professional if you feel overwhelmed by maternal anger or rage.
If you are experiencing anger or maternal rage that interferes with your daily life that you feel you cannot control, please make an appointment with your GP, or reach out to me so I can connect you with appropriate support services.
Normalising the spectrum of emotions women as mothers feel does not equate with condoning aggression towards or neglect of children.
What Previous participants are saying
“I have completed many self help courses looking for the way to be the best Mum and curb the angry Mum. None have worked. I now realise this is because all of them just added to my load. But I have learnt so much from this course.
Just tonight… I was triggered by my kids not going to sleep.. usually I would have blown my top. But I could gather myself. Over and over I found composure.”
“I feel so incredibly empowered and in control, but weirdly also a sense of no control, of ease and calm.. I haven’t felt this empowered and in tune with myself for ages, so thank you.”
“I just completed your BLOOM program and wanted to say thank you! I absolutely loved the training – you deliver content in such an engaging and passionate way, and I found it so valuable on both a personal and professional level [as a psychologist].”

“Anger is an assertion of rights and worth. It is communication, equality, and knowledge. It is intimacy, acceptance, fearlessness, embodiment, revolt, and reconciliation. Anger is memory and rage. It is rational thought and irrational pain. Anger is freedom, independence, expansiveness, and entitlement… Anger is instrumental, thoughtful, complicated, and resolved. In anger, whether you like it or not, there is truth.”
