Welcome to Season 4! But Why Am I Really Here?

I am very excited to be back and I’ve decided to make my fourth season all about GETTING REAL.

It’s about asking questions that are more uncomfortable, connecting the dots between the inner and the outer, and sharing a more authentic me with you (I mean, who doesn’t like a good failure story?).

And you know, I start by doing exactly that: by telling you how I see Investigative Selfism, what bigger meaning it has in terms of my life mission, and how it relates to another (seemingly unrelated) project I run 👀

I’m also inviting you to continue on that uncomfortable journey of learning and unlearning. Because no matter how not fun it might be sometimes, what’s REALLY not fun is never unlearning everything that has been installed in us like some outdated and limiting software.

Be an active participant in your own life ❤️

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.

Protect Your Kindness: Don’t Be a Safe Space for Those Who Preach Supremacy

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

With fascism on the rise, I share an extended metaphor with you that might be a reminder you were looking for. To keep on going, to keep on speaking out, and to keep on showing up for what matters.
