EOC | Ep3. When guilt becomes the fuel (Renata Minerbo, Miki Kashtan and Aurelia Saint-Just on Guilt)
Ep. 3 - When guilt becomes the fuel: Renata Minerbo, Miki Kashtan and Aurelia Saint-Just on Guilt.
What happens when the fuel behind your change work isn't just clarity or care, but also guilt?
In this episode of Emotions of Change, Brazilian social entrepreneur Renata shares how the weight of privilege slowly pushed her from purpose into burnout, and what happened when she finally stopped to question the guilt driving her.
Alongside reflections from host Michelle Grant and insights from non-violent communication teachers and practitioners Miki Kashtan and Aurelia Saint-Just, we explore what guilt is really doing in our work, and how we can begin to move through it.
Miki introduces a four-stage framework for processing the guilt of privilege - taking us from denial, guilt or shame, to tenderness and collective stewardship. This episode offers a map, and a deeply human story for navigating one of the hardest emotions in change work.
