7 Steps to Becoming Unbound (Without Blowing Up Your Life)

Have you ever felt like the life you want is just one brave decision away?

In this week’s episode of Becoming Unbound, I sit down with myself for a powerful solo conversation about the seven intentional steps to becoming unbound. We explore how to listen to your body’s whispers, get clear on your values, create safety before big changes, and take tiny brave actions without blowing your whole life up overnight. I also share why January doesn’t have to be your pressure cooker—and how aligning with the real new year (hello, spring 🌱) can make change feel more natural and sustainable. This episode is your permission slip to go slow, trust yourself, and start building a life that actually feels like home.
