I'm an Angry Mom. Help!

Mom rage. What is it? Why do we feel it? And what can we do to prevent it?

No doubt if you’re a mom you have at some point experienced the inexplicable rage that we have come to know as “mom rage.” In fact, it’s so common that it even made the New York Times in 2020 during the height of the pandemic (though don’t worry if you were too busy trying to juggle everything during a global pandemic to read it).


Christina Furnival is a mental health therapist, writer, public speaker, and children’s book author. She is also a wife and mom of two, and she joins me today to discuss all things mom rage. We’re talking about what it is, why we feel it, and how to deal with it.


We’re also discussing some of the many reasons why mom rage has become so common and why our mothers and grandmothers did not share the same struggle (hint: social media and mom guilt, anyone?) If you struggle with mom rage, or have ever struggled with mom rage, this is an episode you definitely won’t want to miss!

About the Podcast

The Modern Mommy Doc Podcast
Giving modern working moms the tools, resources, and information they need to win at parenting and work without losing themselves.
Wouldn't it be great to find a podcast for the Modern Working Mom that addresses life as a mom, life as a working mom with an ambitious career and life as a mom who wants to also have time for her own life? That is what the Modern Mommy Doc podcast is all about.
We live in a world where we are supposed to raise kids as if we don't work and work as if we don't have kids (and don't even mention that we may also want to fit in some time for ourselves to read a book or take a SoulCycle class.)
Everyone has an opinion on what it takes to be the perfect Working Mom in today's society. Most of the advice is unattainable, anxiety-provoking and certainly doesn't address how the modern working mom is supposed to make time for her own life. The Modern Mommy Doc Podcast helps working moms say "no" to unrealistic expectations for a perfectly-balanced life and say "yes" to what really matters. You'll hear inspiring interviews with experts in each of the core areas modern working moms who parent with intention know are critical for success –dreaming big, spending time on things that matter, making space for themselves, investing in their mental and physical health, parenting in partnership, and being intentional about the way they parent their kids.
Your host is Whitney Casares, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.A.P. She's a Stanford-trained, board-certified pediatrician, author, speaker, blogger @modernmommydoc, mom of two and avid Peloton-er. Drawing on her own experience as a working mom in the modern world, she's curated a group of expert guests to help you find the credible advice you're looking for when it comes to taking care of your child, your career and yourself.
We live in an era filled with so many questions around Working Mom Life and finding balance. On the Modern Mommy Doc Podcast, you'll find the focused answers you've been looking for to truly have it all.
