Anger has a way of sneaking in and taking over, whether it’s at a person, a situation, or even yourself. In this episode, Jesse Weiland explores how to notice anger before it boils over, how to work with it when you’re already in the storm, and how to soften the way you treat yourself afterward. We’ll talk about why rest matters, what it means to lower expectations, and how compassion can be the secret doorway out of rage. Plus, as always, we’ll end with a short guided meditation to bring things back to center.

Welcome to The Bad Buddhist Club — where mindfulness meets margaritas and meditation goes rogue. In this episode, we invite you into a playful exploration of the not-so-perfect path: sneaking protein shakes into retreats, finding moments of Zen at Red Rocks concerts, and laughing at the everyday chaos of trying to be spiritual in a messy world.

Zen and the Art of Remembering What You Were Just Doing
In this episode of Radio Buddha, Jesse dives into the wild world of distraction — from monkey mind to rogue fruit flies. You’ll hear stories, Buddhist wisdom (including a classic Ajahn Brahm tale involving monkeys and bananas), and simple mindfulness practices to help you come back to the moment — even if your brain feels like it has 53 tabs open.

Includes:

• A “Drop of Dharma” from Ajahn Brahm
• Micro-mindfulness tips for the mildly unhinged
• A guided one-minute meditation

Let’s laugh, breathe, and get a little less lost together.
