FOR THE MOM GOOGLING THIS AT 2AM
This has a name: postpartum rage.
Your rage isn’t proof that you’re becoming a bad mom. It’s information. And you can learn what it’s telling you, what to do when it hits, and how to feel like yourself again.
You snap over something tiny. Immediately feel horrible. Promise yourself you won’t do it again.
And then tomorrow, you’re touched out, running on fumes, your baby won’t stop crying, your partner says the wrong thing…
and there you are again.
You’re not just scared of the anger anymore.
You’re scared of what it says about you as a mom.
Find out what may be fueling your rage + where to start.
You deserved more support than you got.
You try so hard to hold it all together, but the exhaustion is bone-deep. When the breaking point comes, it feels terrifying and out of control. The hardest part isn't just the anger - it's the intense isolation that follows.
You lose it - then spend hours replaying it in shame
You haven't told anyone. Not your partner. Not your doctor.
You're Googling this at 2am while the baby sleeps on your chest
You fear what the rage says about who you are as a mother
The calming exercises are not cutting it - and you know it
"The rage is not who you are. It is what your brain is doing under impossible conditions."
Postpartum rage can feel like it comes out of nowhere.
But instead of only trying to calm yourself down after you’ve hit your breaking point, PATH helps you understand the entire cycle.
What happens before the rage. What your anger may be telling you. What you need in the moment. And how to come back after things get hard.
Notice when you’re reaching your limit and create space between what you feel and what you do next.
“I can interrupt this.”
Learn your triggers, patterns, warning signs, and the needs underneath your anger instead of immediately criticizing yourself for having it.
“I can understand this.”
Build practical regulation skills, support, boundaries, and realistic ways to meet your needs before you hit your breaking point.
“I can respond to what I need.”
Repair after hard moments, reconnect with the people you love, interrupt old patterns, and rebuild trust in yourself.
“I can repair and move forward.”
PAUSE → ATTUNE → TEND → HEAL
Less shame. More choice. More connection. More YOU.

I'm Shona, a Licensed Clinical Social worker. I've been there. Not in a vague motherhood is hard way. In a Googling postpartum rage at 3am while feeling like the worst mother alive way. I was too ashamed to tell anyone what was happening to me...too ashamed to even tell my partner. I am a mom of two that just wanted to figure this out so I didn't have to be that angry mom--and instead be connected and peaceful.
