Recognising and Releasing Sacred Rage with Nic Liddell

You first met the always inspiring Nic Liddell and her story of Rock Bottom to Raising with Resilience back in episode 15. If you haven't listened already, head over here 

I have known the delicious Nic for years, ever since we trained together and since those days Nic has single-handedly raised three spectacular humans and recently finished a Degree in Psychology. Last time we chatted we had so much more to say, so I was excited to dive into chat #2.

And OMG did we go deep - initially our thoughts were speaking about anger, the purpose of anger and the ways in which we must learn to allow it to rise to the surface to be cleared, especially if that deep-seated emotion is originating in family patterns from decades ago (as it often is).

In this ep we speak about:

- Nic and my personal experience of anger and rage rising to the surface during the perimenopause transition and our theories on unexpressed patterns of being unseen and unheard which create layers and layers of anger that we do not get to process as little people, but does not magically disappear

- How our very understandable and even "justifiable" rage often shows up with shame attached, conditioned by the very early message of girls needing to be "nice, polite, quiet and passive"


- A powerful passage from the seminal book Women Who Runs with Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes on being stuck in old rage and the toll that this takes on energy and emotional balance

- The pattern of passive aggression which can emerge if we deny our anger, because these emotional charges have to come out somewhere even if we do not choose to honour and express them in healthy ways

- Nic's anger at the external misogyny and unconscious bias out there, her resulting demonisation of other women, and how this turned to internalised misogyny and anger at herself for believing the societal BS in the first place

- Our definition of stress and how our expectations around how we "should be feeling" holds us in a perpetual state of stress, until we surrender to the truth of our full, uncensored emotional experience
