Ep 10: Feeling Rage, Finding Joy: Managing Emotions in Justice Work - a podcast by April Baskin and Tracie Guy-Decker
from 2020-11-12T08:00
As the election season concludes, Tracie asks April for advice on working through the negative emotions that sometimes accompany justice work. The two friends unpack the ways we've been taught to associate anger or rage with justice work (and anxiety with intelligence), and April shares suggestions for achieving the positive effects of BOTH feeling your feelings AND cultivating joy and presence.
