In this episode, meditation teacher and retreat leader Tania Ho shares a reading from her favorite book, The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. Focusing on the chapter about anger, Tania invites us to reconsider this often misunderstood emotion.

Instead of being stuffed down or ignored, anger is meant to be listened to. It is a voice, a map, and a loyal companion pointing us toward action, boundaries, and growth. Tania reflects on how anger signals the death of old patterns and the birth of new possibilities. When honored, anger becomes a tool that fuels creativity, helps us treat our ideas with respect, and reminds us to act in our own best interest.

She closes with a reminder that creative recovery is not linear—growth happens in cycles, with steps forward and pauses for rest. By treating ourselves with gentleness and compassion, we create the conditions for meaningful change.

This episode offers a powerful reframe: anger is not the enemy, but a guide toward living more authentically and courageously.
