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.
