Self Empowerment

Self Empowerment is a free 11-lesson course with Justine Baruch on resistance, motivation, guilt and the ways we respond to other people. It offers ideas for looking at familiar patterns and deciding what you want to do differently.

What you will explore

The lessons cover honoring resistance, guilt and shame, worrying about other people’s opinions, showing up and setting intentions. Other topics include holding space and responding to defensiveness, with two lessons devoted to that subject.

You can follow the lesson list below or start with a topic that feels relevant to you. The course is self-paced, so you can return to a talk when you want to reflect on it again.

Making time for reflection

After a lesson, consider one situation in your own life that relates to the topic. What did you notice about your response? Is there a different approach you would like to try? Writing a few notes can help you turn a general idea into something specific.

The course offers Justine’s perspective and prompts for reflection. Take what is useful to you; you do not need to agree with every idea or finish all the lessons at once.
