Show notes
This week on the Midweek Tease, Adelle unpacks one of the most misunderstood emotional patterns: how fear often disguises itself as anger.
Rooted in psychology and the lived experiences of African women, this episode explores why we react the way we do, what’s happening in the brain and nervous system, and how to understand the emotions hiding beneath anger. In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why anger is often a secondary emotionHow fear, shame, overwhelm, and hurt drive our reactionsThe “Fight Response” and what it means for your mental healthHow childhood, culture, trauma, and pressure shape our emotional patternsThe four faces of anger and how they show up in relationshipsSimple psychology-backed tools to regulate anger with compassionHow to identify what you really need in heated moments
It’s a soft, grounding episode for anyone who has snapped, shut down, withdrawn, or felt overwhelmed and later wondered, “Where did that come from?”
If this resonates, share it with another woman who needs permission to feel without shame.
