Sasha Woodley

Sasha Woodley, an advocate for education and innovation, holds a bachelor’s degree, M.S.I.E, and is the author of Diffusing Anger and Anger Management for Teenagers. Sasha knew when she was younger that learning was her biggest passion. This was only reinforced when she gained her bachelor’s degree in Education and masters in Operation Research. Her education led her to a business analytics, data science, and business management career. Those industries are known for their high-pressure environment and increased stress levels. And Sasha is the first to admit that her patience and anger were certainly tested each time she published her work in top academic journals and worked on her enormous inventions. It wasn’t an easy road. However, Sasha constantly reminded herself of her dad’s wise words that as long as she did her best, that was good enough. But none of the challenges in Sasha’s career could have prepared her for the emotional rollercoaster of parenthood. Parents face the whole spectrum of emotions, and Sasha struggled with a particular one: anger. And then she didn’t feel like she was doing her best! That’s why she dedicated a large part of the last ten years to better understanding the complexities of anger, its psychological and physiological impacts, and how to manage tempers and triggers. Thanks to her experience as a mom of two wonderful girls, Sasha has put her learning into first-hand practice and become a calmer parent with children who are also far more capable of diffusing their anger. Now, her passion has turned to sharing her knowledge with other parents worried about their anger’s impact on the family.
