In this episode, we explore a topic that resonates with many mothers – "Mum Rage." "Mum rage" encompasses intense anger, frustration, or irritability felt by mothers due to parenting stresses. It can lead to sudden outbursts or physical aggression, triggered by factors like sleep deprivation, overwhelming responsibilities, and childcare demands. These extreme anger episodes can surprise calm mothers, often sparking guilt and shame. Experiencing mum rage doesn't equate to bad parenting; it's a natural response to the pressures of parenting and life's emotional toll, reminding us of the importance of self-care and understanding.
In this episode, I share some practical strategies to help single mums manage these intense feelings and navigate their parenting journey more harmoniously. By understanding "mum rage," you can take proactive steps and learn to manage its effects.
