You know those moments when you feel strong? When you kinda look around and say, “You know what, I feel like…myself right now”?
Isn’t it interesting to reflect when it happens? And maybe a more interesting question to ask: WHY it happens?
I’d say, questions like that are a really good starting point to uncover what it means for us to lead a life of authenticity and courage.
Oh yeah, and we to answer them with honesty (oooh the pain!).
For me, a lot of empowerment comes from not being silent. For speaking for myself and others, even when it’s uncomfortable (because usually, it is!). I have these “look at me, doing well, remembering my values” tap-on-the-shoulder moments. In other words, I feel strong and empowered when I feel like I’m not compromising my life mission — even if it also feels like I’m holding onto it just my fingertips!
In this episode, I know that I ask a lot of questions. But they’re only valuable if you take a moment to honestly and openly reflect on them.
Oh yes, and I also share a beautiful quote that – DANGER DANGER – can be potentially life-changing.
Watch the video and remember what you’re truly about. And be that amazing emowered person.
When do you feel most like yourself? The topic of #empowerment can seem very vague and superficial. So how do we deconstruct it so it serves us?

What can it mean to us and where do we go from there?

How Do We Choose to Operate in Times of Fascism?
Fascism has never been a thing of the past; now, to disregard it means to disengage from reality. As international law has crumbled, Israel is still destroying Gaza, and masked agents are snatching people of the streets in the U.S., I invite you to ask yourself how you choose to show up in this reality.

The Fires, The Multiple Fires
“Let everything burn, except your desire to fight” – my year started with this writing that I saw in a beautiful graffiti project.
