8. Mom Rage: A Message, Not a Meltdown with Nicole McNelis

Have you ever found yourself snapping at your kids and then feeling awful about it afterward? You’re not alone. In this episode of Real Parenting for the Sensitive Mom, we talk with perinatal mental health therapist and researcher Nicole McNellis about mom rage — what it is, why it happens, and why it doesn’t mean you’re a bad mom. We explore how overwhelm, resentment, unrealistic expectations, and nervous system overload can build up and spill over, especially for sensitive, deeply caring moms. You’ll also learn simple ways to understand what your anger is trying to tell you and how to respond with more compassion for yourself. We unpack: • The build-up → explosion → guilt cycle so many moms experience • How resentment, overload, and unrealistic expectations fuel rage • Why highly sensitive, perfectionistic, and people-pleasing moms are especially vulnerable • The difference between outward explosions and internalized rage • And what your anger is trying to tell you about your needs, boundaries, and support • what coping skills work to help you feel better Contact Nicole McNelis: nicolemacnellis.com and on Instagram @therapistmomcollective We love to hear feedback about the show!
