Authentic anger, especially for women, looks very different than a lot of we've been seeing, or what we've been taught, or what . AND, It’s true that women have a millennia or two worth of of actions and historical events and current events to be angry about.

I am and the perfect example. It was the first emotion available in my palette that allowed me to really feel and to tap into what was mine. My truth. My Authenticity. My Essence.

For that reason I think once opened to it, women tend use it as it as a weapon. As way of showing how strong and powerful we are.

A woman's anger (picture the power of mother Earth's storms!) is a lashing out, a destructive force. It's a force you can’t deny. And, it’s often quick and swift. It’s a balancing of energy. It's about standing strong in our essence, in our conviction and passion, declaring our truth.

It’s not a lot of words. It's not a lot about the hurting of another. It’s not making the other pay or share in what’s our’s. It's not about making a point by tearing down the other’s ego - be it physically, emotionally, spiritually.

It's sad that we have not learned the teachings of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Gandhi around nonviolent conflict, peaceful protesting and working together TOWARDS an end, versus FIGHTING AGAINST the other. There's a way of making a point with clarity and courageous conviction, sometimes even more so without words.

This reminds me of the Compassionate Samurai. A samurai warrior is trained in all of the martial arts and trains his body to be strong and powerful and also to open his heart. Open his/her mind in a way of serving for all. It's it's about dropping our ego, standing tall for the collective.

This is where a woman's anger can be very affective. When we are fighting for our child or for the rights of all women, or a beloved, we do so in a forward thinking type of way. We want to create change that leads us towards where. We. Want. To. Go. (versus fighting back at what has happened)

This has to be a changed in our mindset. We can change our belief system to learn that what has happened has been the catalyst that turned on this emotion and power and sharpens our senses, and from there, discern how we will move or take action or respond in a way that generates momentum to build what we want.

Join me as we transform our Authentic Anger into the energy that spurs us as compassionate leaders, heard and seen as powerful, strategic, grounded and leading towards change.
