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 The World with Israel in It Looks Like – And Why It’s OK for Our Nervous Systems Not to Be OK
I hope it is something you can address with your therapists, friends, or online community at least: that if you are aware of how this world has been, your nervous system can’t be doing too well. And as long as we live in a world where fascist regimes like Israel can exterminate people in front of our eyes, we cannot be OK. But what we can do is put conscious effort to change that world.

When There’s an Opening of The Heart, But The Ones in Power Are Preaching Destruction
There is a saying that the cracks in the heart is where the light comes through. I also think it’s from where that light also shines. In my essay, I invite you to protect your hearts in this time of mass destruction; to engage in antiwar activities; to save your own humanity.

If You Reject Gaslighting in Your Personal Life, Reject It When It Comes as War Propaganda, Too
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 that you might be losing your mind when you watch the mainstream media, indeed, that is the point.
