#107 Who is the Master of Your Life?

We take a short trip to Ancient Rome to explore a timeless question: Who is the master of your life?


Through vivid Roman anecdotes (Augustus vs. the crystal cups! 😮) and Cicero’s six “hidden slaveries,” we examine modern chains—approval, performance, possessions, money, status, and fear. I also share a real “unchaining” story of a friend who let go of a rigid timeline and found freedom first, outcomes second.


In this episode you’ll hear:


• Ancient Roman snapshots of power, cruelty, and unexpected kindness

• Cicero’s guide to inner slavery (updated for modern life)

• A true story of shifting from pressure to presence

• A gentle notebook check-in to loosen your own chains


If this resonated, follow the show, rate it, and share it with a friend who needs a little freedom today 💛
