You may think your anger is “justified.” Maybe it is. But is it also quietly wrecking your brain, your heart, your immune system, your sleep—and your relationships? (Spoiler: Sí, it is.) Buckle up. We’re about to blow the lid off the cost of staying mad.
We live in a world that fuels anger like it’s premium gas—social media rants, political shouting matches, bumper-to-bumper traffic with blaring horns. We normalize it, bottle it up, or worse—explode. But here’s the truth most people don’t want to talk about: anger isn’t just a mood—it’s a health hazard.
In this 5-part series, we’ll explore how unchecked anger quietly takes its toll on nearly every part of your life. And no, we’re not going to shame you for feeling mad (this isn’t that kind of blog). But we are going to walk you through the science, the symptoms, and the soul-saving strategies that can help you regain control.
Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming:
