FREE TO BE: A Six-Week Guide to Reclaiming Your Soul

Key Takeaway Qs to Answer:
 Do you find yourself feeling unfulfilled? Unworthy?
 Did you check all the boxes and built a life, a career, a family but
still, have an empty feeling as if something is missing?
 Why is soul work important in this day and age?
 Are our listeners bound to still have bad days from time to time
even after finishing the lessons in the book? How do they go about
changing that?
 How did you identify the categories for reclaiming your soul and
breaking them up into six weeks?

Episode Summary:
From an early age we’re taught that in order to be worthy, to find true
happiness, to be “somebody,” we have to accomplish many things. We
become achievement machines, always grasping for the next big win to
send a signal to the world—and to ourselves—that we’ve “made it.”
That we are happy.

But do we ever “make it,” really? Are we truly happy not in the
“#livingmybestlife” and “#blessed” way in which we caption our social

media pages, but from a truly contented place of inner peace and joy?
One where the yearning for the bigger house, the better job, the
younger, more pliable spouse takes a backseat to the yearnings of our
hearts and souls, a place where contentment just “is”?

“Walking our talk is never a straight line. Our path will have twists and
turns.”
“The concept of a “Work-life balance” is elusive and faulty.”
“Most people have been disconnected from their souls for so long, they
have no idea where to find it…let alone how to follow it.”
