Currents Episode 6: Frustration as a Portal to Joy and Love

Frustration has been one of my greatest teachers in life and I’m focusing this whole month on the topic. Why? Because there’s a lot of fire in the air! Whether it’s the summer heat, social justice roll-backs, or just personal stuckness, we can all use a little help engaging the parts of us that feel furious about not getting what we want for ourselves, our families, or our communities. Because there’s a lot of energy in frustration! But what do we want to put that energy toward? And why is all that energy there to begin with? How do we let our feelings fuel more meaningful and fulfilling actions and awareness?

In this episode, I share some of my experience working with the energy of frustration and how and why I actually see frustration as a powerful tool, indicator, and information for loving and enlivening transformation and wholeness. Really curious about how the hell that could be? Listen on dear friend. Or read the transcript below - but this one kinda had me giggling even as I re-listened to it :).

I hope you enjoy it and leave a comment. I’d love to hear your thoughts and how the practices come to life to support a more beautiful life for you and all those you love.
