Wild and Free
60 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 4 years ago - ★★★★★ - 25 ratingsWild and Free is a place where we question and challenge the beliefs that are no longer serving us. Instead, we are encouraging ways to look at things in a different perspective and become more mindful of what beliefs, ideologies, and philosophies we CHOOSE to adopt.
We are all creators of our reality, so let’s construct narratives and a life that is congruent with our infinite potential! It’s time to give love and acceptance to ourselves without condition. Let’s reconnect with our authentic selves and embrace the beautiful soul that resides within!! You have to be a warrior in this day and age—when society is pressuring everyone to become clones. The good news is that you have a choice to break away from the herd! But the only person that can take that first step on the journey to become that destined being is...YOU. And Wild and Free is here to help guide you along that path to awakening your higher self!
This podcast will not only offer inspiration for embarking on this awakening journey, but also provide tips, tricks, and practices that will help you along as well. We understand that what works for one might not work for another, so that’s why we will be incorporating interviews with other evolving beings that are stoking the flame within them--to create the life that they want to be living! Wild and Free is a motto for life and as Henry David Thoreau said, “All good things are wild and free.”.
