Episode Synopsis

This one's heavy, friends. I'm talking about anger—specifically when it crosses the line into abusive behavior. I share some personal stories about what I've seen (and honestly, what I've been part of) when anger goes unchecked.Here's the thing: we all get mad. But when yelling becomes your default, when you're constantly losing it on the people you love, that's a pattern. And patterns don't just disappear because you feel bad about them later.I walk through what it actually looks like to recognize you've got a problem—whether you're the one exploding or you're on the receiving end. I talk about counseling (the real kind, not just venting to friends), genuine repentance (which is way more than saying "I'm sorry"), and why accountability matters so much.If you've ever wondered, "Is this normal? Is this okay?"—listen to this. If you're the one struggling with anger, there's hope and a way forward. And if you're watching someone you love spiral, you're not stuck.Let's break these cycles together.Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome to Random Devo Thoughts 00:43 Today's Heavy Topic: Dealing with Anger 02:18 Personal Stories and Reflections 04:37 Recognizing and Addressing Patterns of Abuse 09:10 Steps Towards Healing and Change 17:55 Final Thoughts and EncouragementtAmber Weigand-Buckley is an award-winning author, podcaster as well as editor and art director for Leading Hearts magazine.
