FREEDOM. This one has a lot of meanings! So let's get to it. Here’s this week’s breakdown:

1: Rock Your Life with Amy: I acknowledge that we have a lot going on in this country and touch on listening to this speech by Frederick Douglass on American slavery and freedom this July 4th. I move to another thought on freedom, and that is what it means in relationships and in the bigger picture: is it a practice? And is it all about choices? Listen for that and many more reveals from me as I get real about it all, as usual, and know that I DID IT and got my first new newsletter out and you can sign up and get my free 5-step habit building guide, too.

2: The Interview (13:23): Interview this week is with John Zeitz, US Coast Guard and Special Ops Veteran and Activist. John tell us about the responsibility of freedom and what that means, and the power of our own choices— or rather, how we can use our freedom. “It’s up to you as an individual to make sure you don't use your freedom for wrong, or to hurt others.” And yes, we talk about the “freedom” people want in not wearing masks. “Freedom isn’t free- it’s trite, but it’s true. When it’s said most often, it’s the fallen soldier, on the battlefield, fighting for our freedom overseas. But that isn’t just it. You have an obligation in a free society to act in a manner that benefits that society. Or at the very least, does not harm. And that is the price you pay to live in a free society. To not damage that society when you use your freedom.” I mention that it’s a fallacy to think we have complete freedom anyway; and John talks about the darkness and downside of anarchy and true libertarianism. The takeaway? Freedom is all about responsible choice. Beautiful interview, and so much more inside!


3: Go Aff Yourself (29:44) with Affirmation Maven Jill Faulkner of stickwithit.co: Jill clarifies the context of freedom that we are speaking of: the freedom in relationship to self. Jill tends toward thinking of freedom in relation to time, but we explore other ways to find freedom and how it can equal openness and not necessarily independence. We address the guilt we can feel, too, that can come attached to freedom, which is true and so fascinating. And our Aff this week is: I Feel Freedom In New Ways. She ends with the thought of freeing up energy and the freedom of going with the flow. And Jill is back on social media! 


4: BYOBBB(46:07) Build Your Own Brand, Biz + Brain with Bijou Finney: We get into the "freedom" of working for oneself, and the freedom trade-offs in business and how it’s different for everyone. “Doing things like collaborating with others and taking breaks from your job can mean tackling problems with a fresh mindset and a new perspective, which is a cool thing to do when you’ve gotten stuck in your ways. It’s this beautiful freedom and you can learn so much more from coming up with a new idea and working it out.” We also talk about freedom in branding and brain freedom and what can foster that, including psychedelics. And don't forget, too, you can still access our free pdf that can help you with your brand values and the action you take.
