"How Does Anger Lead to Positive Change?" Conflict is inevitable in life. When we have low awareness of ourselves and of ourselves, miscommunications happen.  And more often than not, when we need to change in life, it starts as a feeling that most people reject... Anger. What is your relationship to anger like? How do you handle conflict and confrontation?  Are you afraid of change?  Most people don't embrace anger or conflict, because most people are not truly comfortable in conflict. But as it turns out, that's exactly what is required in order to prevent it and create relationships and environments that don't experience as much of it.  In this episode of the podcast, discover why conflict and anger are the agents of positive change, and how to navigate your own personal evolution when anger shows up for you.   --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/higher-development/support
