In this episode, CJ discusses his recent temper tantrum—what triggered it, how it unfolded, and what it revealed about anger and being human. What started as frustration over a faulty mop quickly turned into something bigger, exposing a deeper reaction that many of us try to avoid or suppress.
He explores the idea that emotions are energy in motion, and that anger, when acknowledged and allowed to move through the body, can actually clear space rather than create harm.
CJ shares insights from past experiences with emotional release and reflects on how quickly we judge ourselves for having these moments, especially when we think we’re supposed to be “aligned.”
CJ also introduces the concept of “forward leaning”—those times when we’re pushing, forcing, or trying to control outcomes instead of listening and allowing. Through this honest moment, he invites listeners to notice their own patterns, soften their response, and return to a more natural state of alignment and creative flow.
