Making a Case for Anger

Your Anger is Righteous. Now Harness It for Good.In this episode I make a case for anger—an often ignored or outright condemned emotion in the spiritual and conscious communities. But if we believe the teaching that no emotion—anger, sadness, joy, elation—is inherently “good” or “bad,” then why does anger get such a bad rap?I give some personal examples in my life of how I’ve harnessed anger for aligned action and making change, provide some recommendations on how to recognize and manage anger when it comes up, and share how to use this powerful emotion to start making positive change in your own life and the lives of others.Resources & sites mentioned in this episode:Pageant of the MastersThe now-shuttered Center for Gender, Sexuality & Activism (formerly the Women’s Center) at Boston UniversityRage Prayers by Elizabeth Ashman Riley

Being a Woman in Male-Dominated Fields with Caro Griffin

On this podcast I love exploring how different people write their own paths, and my friend Caro Griffin has an especially interesting story. From teaching herself to code at 12, to taking a sabbatical from the tech world in her 30s to follow her passion and become a mezcal sommelier, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!Since Caro has experience being a badass queer business lady in not one, but TWO male-dominated fields, I thought she’d be the perfect person to talk to about the challenges and benefits of working in such environments. We also discuss everything from startups and fractional work to being a gringa leading mezcal tastings in Mexico City.Resources & sites mentioned in this episode:Tech Ladies (where Caro used to work)Between Drinks podcast where Caro dives into the stories behind the drinks you loveMore about Caro’s upcoming group trip to Japan in May 2026Point School for all of your booking-flights-with-points needsCaro’s websiteCaro’s Instagram
