Chronicles of a Virgo podcast

Welcome back to another episode of Chronicles of a Virgo Podcast. This week, I am joined by Justina Lindeman, the founder and CEO of Rise Self-Protection. She is a trailblazer in the field of self-defense, offering a unique, trauma-informed approach that is rooted in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
In this episode we discussed:
-The life changing events that happened in Justina’s life that helped begin her journey into Brazilian jiu-jitsu and personal development
-The importance of trusting your intuition and ways to set verbal boundaries in uncomfortable environments
- How to recognize predatory behaviors and the phases of an “assault strategy”
- Ways to recognize Red flags vs Green flags in situations
- Justina speaks on her online course “Begin to Rise”
Justina cultivates safe, engaging, and informative content on social media to make a positive impact in redefining self-defense and emphasizing that it starts well before any physical confrontation. She's a fervent advocate for education and empowerment as tools to disrupt cycles of violence. While she is profound and highly trained in self-defense, Justina innovative teaching extends beyond just physical techniques, focusing on critical soft skills such as assertiveness, boundary setting, and understanding predatory behavior.
The goal of this conversation is to explore the intersection of mindfulness, intuition and protection. Through a holistic lens, we thrive to empower others that not only physical strength, but also mental resilience and confidence are important for personal safety.

Welcome back to another episode of Chronicles of a Virgo Podcast. Have you ever found yourself constantly expecting the worst, or feeling like nothing you do is ever good enough? Or do you find that it is always easy to support others around you, but you can never find the same motivation for yourself? Although these feelings are normal and in some cases the effects from trauma and negative preprogramming, these things can be changed for the better and we can live the life we deserve.
In this episode, I will take you on a journey of a few strategies that I have been recently implementing in my life that has allowed me to draw in some huge manifestations so far this year as well as ways you can begin to dismantle the negative thoughts that have been holding your prisoner in your mind.
It is important to keep in mind that everyone's healing journey is different and it's not always an easy fix especially when you have been locked into a specific programming for so long however with time and patience positive change will happen. Every small step count towards a brighter mindset and a more fulfilling life.
