Postpartum Rage

If you’re snapping fast, yelling hard, and drowning in guilt, you’re not broken — you’re overwhelmed. Postpartum rage is common, and it can be healed.

As featured on

“Why am I so angry after having a baby?”

Postpartum rage is intense anger that shows up after birth — often alongside anxiety, sleep deprivation, hormonal shifts, and a crushing mental load. It can feel sudden and scary: racing heart, hot face, words you wish you could take back. This isn’t a character flaw; it’s a nervous system pushed past capacity.

If you’ve asked “Why am I so angry postpartum?” or “How do I stop yelling after having a baby?”, you’re not alone. With the right tools, you can regulate, repair, and feel like yourself again.

Try This First

Overwhelmed by postpartum rage? Calm the anger after birth and feel like yourself again—starting now.

Try This: 60-Second Cool-Down for Postpartum Rage

  • Cold interrupt: Run your wrists under cold water or hold something cold for 15 seconds to break the surge.
  • Longer exhale: Inhale 4, hold 2, exhale 6—repeat 3 times to signal safety to your nervous system.
  • Name it, normalize it: Say (quietly), “This is postpartum rage. My body is overloaded; I am safe.”
  • Ground in the room: Name 3 things you see, 2 you feel, 1 you hear.
  • Repair script (when ready): “I was too loud. I’m sorry. You’re safe. I’m working on a calmer voice.”

Why it works: Postpartum rage is a nervous-system response. Cold + slow exhale downshift fight-or-flight; labeling and grounding bring your brain back online; repair rebuilds connection.

A Mom Who Snapped,
Then Rebuilt

Hi, I’m Irin. I built MamaZen after months of yelling, crying, and hating how I was showing up as a mom.

I had postpartum anxiety. Rage I didn’t recognize. And a deep fear I was ruining my kids.

My husband is a clinical hypnotherapist, and I asked him for help—because I didn’t need a tip. I needed a way out.

That first session changed everything. So we built MamaZen for moms, everywhere who are silently struggling.

And because this method saved my parenting journey, I wrote a book about it too: The MamaZen Method. To show you it’s possible to rebuild. To parent with calm. To come back to yourself.

Why Nothing Else Has Worked (Until Now)

Books give you insight.
Tips give you strategies.
But when your child is screaming in the back seat, your body doesn’t reach for insight or strategies.
It defaults to survival mode—and that’s where MamaZen meets you.

You don’t need more advice.
You need to reset your baseline.
