Episode 469: Anger in Relationships – How to Stay Connected When You’re Upset

🎧 #28: Anger in Relationships – How to Stay Connected When You’re Upset
Aired July 3, 2025 on the Practicing Love Podcast with Shana James
I had the absolute pleasure of joining my dear friend Shana James on her powerful podcast, Practicing Love. We dive into something every couple faces: anger. Whether it’s yours or your partner’s, we talk about what happens when emotions run high — and how to stay connected instead of falling apart.

Together, we explore how to share anger without losing connection, how to pause and regulate in the heat of the moment, and what it looks like to offer grace and curiosity — even when it's hard. I open up about my own marriage, what I’m still practicing (because we’re all still practicing), and how my self-talk and parenting journey have helped me become a more present partner.

💗 Topics we cover:

• How to avoid the blame spiral
  
• Why anger often masks deeper hurt
  
• My favorite ways to self-regulate (and what I teach my kids too!)
  
• Tools my husband and I use when things get heated
  
• The healing power of compassion and grace — for ourselves and our partners
• 
  This one’s real, raw, and full of hope.
