There Is Power in Your Anger

There is a wave of anger moving through women right now.

And instead of asking whether it’s appropriate, I’m more interested in what it’s revealing.

Because anger is not weakness.

It is power surfacing.

When stories resurface.
When patterns become undeniable.
When power appears to protect power.

Anger is often the first honest response.

Not because women are unstable.
But because women are paying attention.

Anger Is a Boundary

At its core, anger says:

This crosses a line.

It is the nervous system mobilizing.
It is the body refusing to collapse.
It is energy returning to places where it was once suppressed.

For generations, women were taught to dilute their anger — to intellectualize it, soften it, make it palatable.

But suppressed anger does not disappear.
It waits.

And when it rises, it carries information.

Anger Clarifies

Fire starting to build.

Anger clarifies what you stand for.
What you will no longer tolerate.
Where your boundaries live.

It sharpens discernment.
It strengthens standards.
It exposes what no longer aligns.

That is not chaos.

That is leadership.

This Moment Matters

When collective anger rises, something is shifting.

Women are trusting their instincts.
Naming what they see.
Refusing to minimize what feels fundamentally wrong.

There is power in that.

Not explosive power.

Embodied power.

The kind that builds stronger boundaries.
The kind that changes conversations.
The kind that refuses silence.

At Flourish

At Flourish Women’s Wellness, we do not teach women to suppress their emotions.

We teach women to work with them.

If you are feeling anger right now, do not rush to tame it.

Listen to it.

Let it inform your standards.
Let it strengthen your voice.
Let it remind you that your instincts are intelligent.

There is power in your anger.
