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.

What The World with Israel in It Looks Like – And Why It's OK for our Nervous Systems Not to Be OK Investigative Selfism

This episode is a crossover between Investigative Selfism and my more political project, The Exploding Head.It's a crossover because it's about the heaviness that many of you might be feeling: the heaviness of existing in the world where crimes are being committed against my and your humanity continuously. And if you're following what's happening in Palestine, this is what you might feel every day.I invite you to acknowledge it, hold it with compassion, and continue taking action so that we don't have to live in this kind of world.

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).
