Welcome to the Girl on Top ShalinXO podcast.

I'm your host Shalin Lester and you might know me from my YouTube channel,

where I analyze celebrity relationships and scandals for the lessons we can take into our own lives.

But here on the podcast, I answer the best questions you submitted over the

past week. Gotta love quandary, head to my website, shalinlester.com to get connected, and also shop my

merch and take some fun quizzes. Be sure to rate and review this podcast if you like it, and follow me on

Instagram at ShaolinXO and find me on YouTube for four new videos a week to the podcast Shaligators so today

our motto and our mantra is going to be about freedom because we're going to talk about how to

get freedom from a friend who's kind of bringing you down the tyranny of thinking you need a guy

to save you right right? And freedom in restraint? What? What does

freedom in restraint means? It sounds like some weird 50 Shades of Gray thing. Well, I mean, it might be

actually, but that's not how we're going to talk about it. But we'll get there eventually. First,

let's do our guided meditation. I want you actually to come up with a

freedom-based mantra. It could be something thinking about a place or a time that you feel free.

I feel free when I'm on a boat. I feel free when I'm making waffles. Or just the word freedom itself.

I value my freedom. I am free. I choose freedom. So let's roll our shoulders back, undo that bra,

get on the fluffy socks, and we're going to breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth.

Here we go. In through the nose. And out through the mouth.

Nice long exhale.

Get all that gross air from the previous days out.

One more time.

In through the nose.
