Hey there, Purpose Chasers! I'm really excited about today's topic because it's something that's been truly on my heart lately.So, this month, our theme is Set Free. We're diving deep into what it truly means to live a life of abundance and liberation. But here's the thing: in order to experience that freedom, we have to be willing to do the work, to do our part. We have to be open to allowing ourselves to be set free from anything that's holding us back.You see, many of us walk around carrying this illusion of freedom, but deep down, we're still chained to “pretty prisons” – whether it's external definitions of wealth, the fear of being radically honest with ourselves, or the need for validation from others.In today's episode, we're going to explore six signs that might indicate you're not as free as you think you are. From using external measures to define your worth to feeling like your days are on autopilot, you might hear the exact reason you are stuck. But don't worry, it is never too late to make a change, even if it is as simple as your lipstick color.I truly hope this episode is a blessing to you and that it sparks some meaningful insights as you continue on your path to true freedom. It is time to live free.Show Notes:[3:26] - I am free to live life on my own terms.[4:33] - We need to ask ourselves better questions to get better answers.[6:19] - Instead of thinking about external factors, do your own work on your behavior and beliefs.[8:07] - Many of us have built ourselves a pretty prison and are lonely in plain sight.[10:29] - What have we allowed ourselves to become chained to?[12:19] - One of the first signs that you are not as free as you think you are is using external definitions to describe wealth.[13:51] - If radical honesty scares you, you are not free.
