47. Get A Handle on Frustration
Fri Feb 06 2026
In this week's episode, I shared how I have mentored people to better handle frustration. Most people are in one of two camps – either they show frustration or they swallow frustration. I teach a strategy for feeling frustration in a healthier way, sharing it in a way that heals you and helps others, and finds resolve. I shared my own tendency to show frustration quickly, and how I have navigated that path to temper that reaction and be more responsible with my reaction. So much of life is how we communicate. So whether you're frustrated with an in-law, coworker, spouse or friend, here are some better ways to handle it.
What You'll Learn in This Episode People usually handle frustration by either showing it or swallowing it.
Common triggers: dishonesty, lateness, gossip, and mess/disorganization.
Exploding hurts relationships; bottling it up creates hidden resentment.
Use the phrase: "I feel frustrated when…" + situation + "Does that make sense?"
Calm, clear communication helps you be heard, heal, and resolve issues.
