Ep 91: Angry After Trading? Discover This Quick Anger-Release Trick
Transformative Healing: A Journey from Anger to Liberation
In this podcast episode, I had the pleasure of hosting my good friend Dave Shoemaker, the owner of the renowned Ninth Wave Tattoo Shop in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Dave supported me through a very vulnerable and transformative moment in my life which culminated in a cathartic release of anger.
This journey of healing and self-discovery shows the power of unconventional methods in addressing suppressed emotions in a safe and healthy way.
For traders, navigating the tumultuous waters of financial markets can often leave them grappling with intense emotions, particularly the underexplored aspect of anger. The expression of anger in the trading world is seldom discussed openly, and the pressure to maintain composure can lead traders to suppress these emotions. Acknowledging and addressing the source of anger, whether it stems from market volatility, unexpected losses, or external factors, is crucial.
Just as I found healing in an unconventional way, traders may find therapeutic release in constructive outlets tailored to their unique experiences. This could involve debriefing sessions, journaling, or even seeking professional guidance to process and channel the anger effectively. Understanding that anger is a natural response to the challenges of trading, and having the tools to navigate it, can contribute to a trader’s overall mental well-being and resilience in the dynamic world of finance.
Join us as we explore the profound impact of expressing and processing emotions, in a physical and symbolic manner, to find relief and balance.

A diverse skill set, cultivated during her career as a chef, has allowed her to maneuver through high-stress trading environments with ease. She attributes her success to her unwavering creativity and her ability to handle high-pressure situations. As Megan puts it, “If you can’t handle the heat in the kitchen, you are done pretty quickly.”
The pivot from the culinary world to trading might seem like a drastic change, but for Megan, it was a natural progression. As a chef, she constantly sought out cerebral challenges and desired a career that would keep her on her toes.
Trading offered her the perfect outlet for her passion for intellectual stimulation and provided a dynamic and ever-changing environment.
One of the key elements that Megan emphasizes is the importance of attitude in trading. She believes that a positive and enthusiastic mindset is crucial for success in the market. Her infectious half-glass-filled attitude is evident in everything she does, from sharing a laugh in an Uber to tackling unexpected market situations.
She firmly believes that maintaining a good attitude, even during tough times, is vital for navigating the ups and downs of trading.

Her willingness to take on new challenges and her unwavering belief in herself have been the driving forces behind her success in both the culinary and trading worlds. She credits her ability to embrace new opportunities to her mindset of “if they can do it, why can’t I?”
Megan Marlow’s story is a testament to the power of mindset and attitude in achieving success. Whether you’re a chef, a trader, or pursuing any other career, adopting a positive attitude and believing in yourself can make all the difference!
