Dear Friend

How are you feeling today?

Thank you for taking the time to read my third and last newsletter in my three part series about how to channel emotions, such as rage and anger into something more positive and creative.

Rage as Rebirth

Hands up if you’ve witnessed your rage taking over your body when you least expect it? A burning sensation, heart racing and sweaty palms? It’s a difficult feeling to shake off isn’t it? It might have been caused by a work related issue, or regards an argument you had with your partner. I want you to know something, your raging outburst is a normal human experience, and one not to be feared or suppressed. Sometimes we just had to sit with it, or in my case, take a long walk along the coastline or write non stop in my journal.

An emotion such as rage or anger is a natural response when something doesn’t feel right, and sometimes the reaction is a fire that burns deep within you, a calling urging you to take note of what truly matters to you. When you learn how to work in partnership with your rage, with this force of nature, the results can be life changing.

I’ve seen it happen, time and time again, on my ‘Rage on a Page’ workshops. Women arrive feeling pretty fed up, depleted, frustrated and overwhelmed. But once they surrender and put pen to paper and give voice to their anger, something shifts. It’s almost like a spark is ignited within. Layers of conditioning and self-doubt begin to peel away, revealing the fierce, unapologetic woman at the heart of it all.

Because here’s the truth, your rage is not your weakness, it’s your superpower! If you’d like to read more about this, I highly recommend a book called ‘Women Are Angry’ by Dr Jennifer Cox co-founder of

Women Are Mad with Jen&Salima

- it’s a real eye-opener! Jen has some brilliant advice on how we can tune into our feelings and express what we’ve subdued for far too long.

Our anger is not a flaw in our design - it's the alarm system working exactly as intended.

Rage is the fuel that will propel you through your darkest days and carry you, almost blazing, into your most confident self. But from personal experience of channeling my emotions through the pen onto the page, I realised, to harness that power, I had to be willing to dive headfirst into the messy, ugly at times, cathartic process of transformation. Because I’ve reaped the rewards and wellbeing benefits from my non-negotiable journalling practice, I’ll never not journal on a daily basis. It seriously has been a life changing ritual for me.

If you’re in the mood to try and face up to your rage, here are a few prompts to get your journalling muscle moving…

1. Write a farewell letter to the version of yourself that you’re ready to leave behind. What outdated beliefs, limiting stories, or restrictive roles are you ready to let go of?

2. Reframe a past experience of hurt, injustice or disappointment. How can you change the narrative that will serve you, to a better version of yourself?

3. What gifts has your rage brought you? How has it shaped your values, your resilience, and your commitment to creating positive change?

4. Describe ways in which you can transform your rage into constructive, sustainable action. How can you use rage as fuel to ignite a new creative project that you might have been procrastinating over?

5. Take a few minutes to reflect on how can you make friends with your rage.

I hope this recent series of newsletters has been useful, and offered you an insight into how using journalling prompts can help you channel your emotions into something more positive. If anything, hopefully you’ll stop fearing your rage and start harnessing its power.

Note To Self: stop playing small and start using your rage as a catalyst for profound change. I have every faith that you’ll emerge stronger, clearer, more purpose-driven than ever before.

There are lots of interesting articles in the press highlighting how more and more women are no longer dampening down their rage. Back in the summer, when I was hosting ‘Rage on a Page’ workshops at the ‘Big Retreat Festival’ I met Dr Punam Krishan and she mentioned an article she’d written about the fact Women Are Feeling Angrier Than Ever, and she highly recommended journalling as a positive practice for releasing emotions. We need more women to champion this topic, and it starts right here, right now.

My next ‘Rage on a Page’ workshop series begins on the. 20th January, there are 6 spaces available. To secure your place and claim your 50% early-bird discount please email me at hello@easeretreats.com
