Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World with Michelle & Scott

Episode 261 - "Book Review: Love and Rage with guest Jonathan Merker"

In this deep and thought-provoking episode, Michelle and Scott sit down with therapist and educator Jonathan Merker to explore the powerful themes of Lama Rod Owens’ book Love and Rage: The Path of Liberation through Anger. Together, they dive into how anger—often misunderstood or suppressed—can become a profound source of healing, truth, and personal liberation. Jonathan returns to the show and brings his expertise in trauma-informed care and emotional resilience to the conversation as they reflect on how to work with, not against, our rage in a world that often demands our silence. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating complex emotions, seeking spiritual growth, or simply wanting to turn pain into purposeful action.

Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.
