Why Am I So Mad? How to Channel Your Anger to Do Some Good

Even with Trump gone, there's still so much to be mad about. But women’s anger has played a crucial role in shaping history, and if we own it, we can use it for the greater good.

Not long ago, I ran into the mom of one my son’s friends at a lunch spot. She was with a friend, and after they grabbed the table next to mine, we exchanged chit chat about our kids’ ages and the hell of travel sports. It could have been any conversation from any year and anywhere in the vast suburban swath of America.

This Saturday, Oct. 2nd, women all over the country will be marching for reproductive freedom. To find out more about how your anger can be used to fuel the cause, click here.

But somehow, five minutes in, this mom I know to always be smiling, this woman I just met, and I were fuming over the Supreme Court upholding the Texas abortion ban, the attack on voting rights across the country, and the continuing number of people who say they support democracy but then actively try to subvert it by supporting the Big Lie that Trump won the election 10 months ago.

NextTribe is a travel and events company for women 45+. We believe that now—at midlife—is our shaken-Etch-A-Sketch moment, when the slate is once again blank. Today, our conversations question which direction we are headed in and how to get there. How to drink it all in and how to give back. We’d like your voices and humor to be heard, your ideas to be shared, and for you to hear ours. This tribe is one of contemplation, inspiration, wit, and action. Though we may have men in our lives, we believe it’s invigorating to touch base at a time like this with people who have the same sagging parts and swinging moods. Now that we have more time for adventure, more experience for new life paths, more wisdom to connect the dots in our histories, and less care about what people think, we’re sure these coming years can be a glorious stretch. Spiritual and irreverent, creative and courageous, this site, these postings, will serve as our cave drawings and warrior paint. Please join us on our walkabout.
