‘Tis the Season of….Rage (Liver-Gallbladder-Thyroid Axis)
In this episode, I’m diving into the emotion of anger, especially as it shows up during the season of spring. With its dynamic energy and movement, spring tends to stir up emotions, and many of us may find ourselves feeling a little more rage-y than usual. Spring is tied to the liver, gallbladder, thyroid, and estrogen. These hormonal and organ systems are all involved in energy movement.
I talk a lot about how we’re not just physical beings—we're a complex mind-body-spirit system—and emotions like anger move through all these layers. And when we feel anger rising in spring, it mirrors what’s happening in nature: everything is in motion, pushing upward, breaking through the soil, just like energy breaking through emotional or physical stagnation within us.
Spring is the time of renewal, and our bodies are asking us to participate in that momentum. So whether it’s lemon water, leafy greens, a shout in the woods, or a dance in your living room — it all counts. It all matters. Let it move.
