Can We Have Empowerment without Healing?

There’re many ways to define empowerment and any progress toward being the authentic and intentional selves matters.

But is there something else?

Is there something we can put the work to uncover that would help us move forward in significant ways?

I think there is. And I have to mention it when I talk about empowerment.

I don’t know what it is for you and I don’t know where that healing lies. But I want to invite you to embark on that journey as it can only be rewarding.

On Fascist Regimes, The Heaviness of Interconnectedness, And Living Standing Up Investigative Selfism

The more we know, the more things can hurt. The more interconnected we are, the more there is for our hearts, minds, and souls to handle, inevitably.Yet if we have the capacity – that sometimes looks like a privilege, I know – to stand up, I invite us to do exactly that. #antifascist #FreePalestine #AbolishICE #solidarity #mentalhealth #collectivetrauma

Your thoughts

My name is Justina

As a political commentator who talks about different forms and systems of external oppression, I’m also interested in my own personal transformation.

In this platform, I share with you tools, frameworks, authors, and anything of value I have found to lead a life of authenticity.

Imperfectly – oh yes? And with silliness where appropriate (well, or not).
