EOC | Ep 8. When anger has nowhere to go (Sarah Queblatin, Jennifer Cox and Laura Calderon de la Barca)
Ep. 8 - When anger has nowhere to go with Sarah Queblatin, Jennifer Cox and Laura Calderon de la Barca
Anger is one of the most misunderstood emotions in change work.
It can be explosive, uncomfortable, even frightening, especially for those of us who’ve been taught to suppress it. But what if anger isn’t something to manage or avoid, but something to compost?
In this episode of Emotions of Change, Sarah Queblatin, a regenerative designer and founder, shares what happened when the organization she built over seven years began to fall apart. As she fought through donor silence, the needs of her community, and board decisions she didn’t always agree with, Sarah found herself challenged: emotionally, financially, and spiritually.
She embarked on a journey that took her from a silent retreat in France to chopping bamboo on a permaculture farm, and finally to the dusty trails of the Camino de Santiago. Along the way, she reconnected with her anger, not as something to fear, but as a source of protection, power, and possibility.
After Sarah’s story, we are joined by Jennifer Cox, a psychotherapist, host of the Women are Mad podcast and author of the bestselling Women are Angry book. Jennifer helps us see how anger isn’t something to fix, but to feel, listen to and express.
This episode is about learning to carry fire, and what becomes possible when we stop trying to silence our rage and instead learn how to let it move.
