- Art, colour and shared creative spaces can transform difficult emotions and experiences into joy, connection and hope.
“So if we want to change the world, ideally we start by changing ourselves.”
What drives someone to seek a life of strength, purpose, and creativity – even in turbulent times? This UK Health Radio episode of **We Empower!** with Prof. Dr. Anabel Ternès von Hattburg focuses on exactly that, through politics, personal habits, and the healing force of art. First up, strategy and geopolitics expert **Juliane Nagel** talks about guiding companies through change while staying true to democratic values.
She links psychological wellbeing with feeling safe in society, arguing that “psychological health has a lot to do with the feeling of being safe.” She shares a simple daily ritual: writing down three things that made her happy at the end of each workday, as a counterweight to stress.
Juliane also reflects on quitting smoking as a student and why any big shift starts within: “So if we want to change the world, ideally we start by changing ourselves.” The conversation turns to female roles, trust, and democracy. Drawing on her family history and European background, Juliane highlights how old barriers for women still echo today, and why we’re in a “trust transition” as much as an economic one. She stresses that real transformation is “not a technical problem.
It’s a human and a systemic one.” Later, artist duo **Lili Nalalovi** and **Jesko Willard** share how they turn trauma into art and create immersive environments that make people feel “cozy” and “wrapped in love”. Their colourful installations, community work with children in Lamu, and flower- and nature-inspired paintings show how creativity can lift mood, build connection, and gently shift how people see themselves and others.
If you’re curious about how inner change, social change and creative expression fit together, this conversation gives you plenty to reflect on – from quitting harmful habits to dancing on canvases with kids. Which part of your own life could use a little more courage, trust, or colour?
