Season 10 opens with fire. 🔥
In this episode of The Ben and Jamesa Podcast, Ben and Jamesa dive headfirst into the theme of anger—how it shows up in our relationships, our communities, and even in our healing. What begins as a lighthearted chat quickly turns into a mini therapy session, as Ben unpacks his own relationship with anger—with some help from Jamesa, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Thich Nhat Hanh, and James Baldwin.
Together they explore:
- Why anger isn’t the enemy—it’s information.
- How to notice what’s happening in your body before it erupts.
- The difference between managing anger and suppressing it.
- What healthy anger looks like in professional and personal spaces.
This is Part One of a four-part series that invites us all to rethink anger—not as something to fix, but as something that can guide us toward truth, justice, and connection.
🎙️ The Ben and Jamesa Podcast explores the deep work of healing, leadership, and building connection in a world built for disconnection.
