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.

Just Like You Reject Gaslighting in Personal Life, Reject it in Politics, too Investigative Selfism

We can call it war propaganda (as we should), but we can also use another rather popular concept: gaslighting.This is what is being done to us on a global scale, as the U.S.-Israel war on Iran is being waged.That's why, if you're feeling something's very off, if you're feeling that you might be losing your mind if/when you watch the mainstream media, indeed, that is the point.I invite you to notice, point to, and reject this type of gaslighting. I invite you to respect yourself enough to refuse to allow this to be done to you.#mentalhealth #iran #israel #trump

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).
