We trace a small coffee clash into a masterclass on anger: how pride fuels escalation, how to de‑escalate when stakes feel high, and how midlife hormones can set the stage for rage. Julie shares evidence‑based steps for calm choices, plus candid stories about medical hurdles, HRT, and building autonomy at work and in life.

• Anger triggers and the cost of being right
• Practical de‑escalation in retail and public spaces
• Fight, flight, fawn, freeze and the amygdala
• Breathing, goals, and outcome‑focused choices
• Perimenopause, menopause, and mood shifts
• How to ask doctors for tests and HRT
• Invisible labor and midlife emotional load
• Boundaries, timeouts, and flexible work
• Career pivot to autonomy and client fit
• Data over feelings when advocating for care
