What If Justice Starts Within You?
There’s a kind of stillness before takeoff.
If you’ve ever sat on a plane as it slowly taxis toward the runway, you know it: the quiet hum of the engine, the passengers gripping their thoughts, the pilot waiting for a voice from the tower.
And then it comes—“You are cleared for takeoff.”
It’s not just a phrase. It’s permission. It’s an affirmation. It’s a moment of release—a signal that you are no longer grounded by hesitation, restriction, or delay.
What if we needed that same clearance in life?
What if you are waiting for someone to tell you it’s your time to move forward, to speak truth, to heal, to build, to believe again?
And what if I told you…you’re already cleared?
The Birth of Cleared for Justice
I started Cleared for Justice out of necessity—mine and, I believe, yours too.
As a law student, a sustainability advocate, a woman of faith, and someone navigating life, reinvention, and radical purpose all at once—I found myself asking:
What does justice actually mean if I don’t feel free in my own story? How can I advocate for others when I’m still trying to find my own voice? Can healing, faith, law, and impact really coexist?
Cleared for Justice is my answer to that question. Not a perfect answer—but an honest one. A podcast and blog created for people who believe in justice but are still defining what that looks like in real life.
Who This Is For
This space is for you if you’ve ever felt:
Stuck in systems that don’t reflect your spirit
Burned out from fighting the good fight
Pulled in five directions by purpose, but unsure where to plant your feet
Like your faith is still unfolding, or your voice is still forming
Like your story matters, but you haven’t found the space to tell it
Here, we’ll talk about:
Law, leadership, and legacy
Environmental justice and community healing
Mental health, identity, and emotional wellness
Faith journeys, career pivots, and finding clarity through chaos
But mostly? We’ll talk about freedom—and how to claim it, protect it, and share it with others.
The Invitation: A Runway Reflection
Let me ask you something: Where in your life are you waiting for clearance… when the truth is, you already have it?
Waiting for the perfect job offer?
The validation of others?
A flawless plan? Or maybe you’re waiting for grief to pass, or fear to fade, or time to feel “right.”
But sometimes, the clearance doesn’t come from the outside. Sometimes, it’s an inner knowing that says:
I’ve prepared enough. I’ve grown enough. I’m worthy enough. The runway is open. It’s my time. I am cleared.
What Comes Next
Cleared for Justice is more than a podcast. It’s a movement, a mindset, and a meeting place for real people doing real work on themselves and in the world.
Each episode and blog post will offer a piece of the journey:
Reflections rooted in lived experience
Conversations with change-makers, creatives, and community leaders
Legal insight wrapped in humanity
Moments of stillness and moments of fire
