Special Live Zoom Event with Soraya Chemaly, Author of Rage Becomes Her

Soraya Chemaly’s book RAGE BECOMES HER and the idea of anger as a generative force that can make us fertile or “infertile” depending on how we use it, are popular topics in our Fertile Heart community.
Which is why I’m thrilled to have a chance to delve deeper into this galvanizing subject with Soraya Chemaly herself in a Special Zoom Event titled Rage Becomes Us: How Anger Makes Us Fertile
Some questions I hope to engage with:
- How does belittlement of our anger intensify the indignities we endure as a result of childbearing hardships?
- How is our view of anger reflected in our hormone balance; how does it affect physical pain and ultimately our overall level health?
- How would an invitation to honor the angry voices within us broaden the singular opportunity for healing that comes with a fertility challenge?
- The link between anger and power. (As in our ability to become our own ultimate fertility authority.)
- Is anger a risk worth taking?
- How would a deeper understanding of gender-bias in the context of anger influence our parenting, especially the parenting of our daughters?
- How would claiming anger as a precious resource affect our family-birthing journey and our lives?
See you in the Zoom Room!
