In this deeply honest birthday episode, Leah opens up about the real story behind 2025, a year marked by transformation, uncertainty, survival mode, and the moment she finally realized she hadn’t taken a full exhale in almost twelve months. From the Malibu fires to the energetic intensity of the Year of the Snake, Leah shares how a subtle undercurrent of fear shaped her choices, her nervous system, and her ability to trust life… until something shifted. This episode is for you if you’ve been bracing all year, carrying a quiet heaviness, or feeling like you’re navigating life alone. Leah breaks down what survival energy really is, how it disconnects us from our intuition, and the powerful moment she finally put down the weight she didn’t know she was carrying. You’ll also hear: The energetic themes of 2025 and why so many of us felt stretched The long-lasting impact of the LA fires and how trauma hides in the body What survival mode looks like when it’s subtle — and why it’s so draining How her 40-day devotion practice brought hidden fear to the surface Why 2026 (the Year of the Fire Horse + a universal 1 year) requires grounding How to reconnect with your soul, your intuition, and the universe again Why trust is a practice, not a mindset The intention Leah is anchoring for 2026 and how you can join her If 2025 humbled you, stretched you, awakened you, or exhausted you… this conversation will feel like the exhale you’ve been needing.

In this episode, Leah speaks to the collective awakening happening right now as we close out a nine-year cycle and step into 2026—a fresh one-year cycle of new beginnings. She shares her own awakening moments and explores what it truly means to stop searching outside yourself and start listening to the power already within you. This episode is an invitation to recognize that you're not broken, you're waking up—and the world needs you awake. ✨Key Takeaways From This Episode: We are at the end of a nine-year cycle (2025); 2026 begins a one-year, a completely fresh start and new permission to begin again The old paradigms and strategies that got you here won't get you there—you're being called into something new, more aligned, more true People are waking up to realize success ≠ fulfillment, achievement ≠ satisfaction, having it all ≠ wholeness; if you're experiencing this, you're awakening, not broken The biggest paradigm shift: stop searching outside for answers and recognize the answer is already inside you Your intuition is your inner education—your soul's knowing, your guidance system; the connection you have with your soul is the beginning of all your power Nine months of daily Kundalini practice created a direct line to her soul and downloaded everything she needed for her life's purpose The forgetting cycle is real: we remember, disconnect, drift, suffer, search outside again—the question becomes, what if you didn't have to drift? The question before 2026 isn't "Where do I want to go?" but "Who do I need to become to build the life my soul is calling me toward?" You have structural, energetic permission from the universe to start over and build from truth instead of habit Your awakening right now is not accidental; the next nine years of your life depend on how you answer your soul's call to come home 🔔Subscribe for more conversations about soul alignment, manifestation, spiritual awakening, and creating a life that feels as good as it looks. 🔗Learn More About The Live Free Collective (Year-Long Journey for 2026): Monthly activations to keep you anchored in your power and connected to your soul throughout the year.

In this solo episode, Leah shares a real-time lesson about resilience and trust. When a highly anticipated guest interview fell through due to unexpected technical difficulties, instead of seeing it as failure, Leah reframes it as a powerful redirection from the universe. She explores the profound spiritual perspective that everything is always working in your favor—even when it doesn't look like it. This episode is an invitation to trust the process, validate your feelings, and stay open to the miracles that emerge when you expand beyond disappointment. ✨Key Takeaways From This Episode: Redirection is not rejection—closed doors are the universe course-correcting you toward something better Everything is working in your favor, even when circumstances don't look favorable in the moment Control is an illusion; real power comes from who you are in the circumstances, not the circumstances themselves The question "Is this a friendly universe or not?" shapes your entire perspective on life's challenges Your worthiness is not tied to outcomes; it's tied to how you see yourself and move forward The difference between planning and controlling: planning with flexibility is powerful, controlling everything is limiting Anchor into the WHY, not the HOW—your deeper intention is bigger than any specific outcome Intention + Validation = Resilience; this is the core of the Live Free Method in action Hidden gifts live in detours; challenges often build the skills and expansion you need to truly embody what you're calling in When you contract from disappointment, you attract more contraction; when you expand and stay open, you magnetize miracles If you immediately give up at the first sign you're not getting what you desire, you're telling the universe you don't actually want it Staying connected to your truth when plans crumble makes for a powerful story when things do work out The human experience is one of trial, error, resilience, and growth—not immediate gratification 🔔Subscribe for more conversations about manifesting authentically, spiritual resilience, and creating a life that truly feels as good as it looks. 🔗Learn More About The Live Free Lifestyle Experience: https://www.thelivefreelifestyle.ca 🔗Get A Copy of Leah's Book: A New Way of Life: A Guide For Transformation From Living A Lie To Freeing Your Soul https://www.amazon.com/New-Way-Life-Transformation-Freeing/dp/199903550X 🔗Find Leah Online: Instagram: /leah.brathwaite Website: www.leahbrathwaite.com #livefreelifestyle #redirection #trust #resilience #manifestation #spiritualawakening #authenticliving #letgo #controlisanillusion #soulwisdom #transformation Live Free Lifestyle, redirection, resilience, spiritual perspective, trust the process, manifestation, limiting beliefs, authenticity, personal growth, coaching, empowerment, soul's truth, surrender, expansion

Eric shares his raw journey from people-pleasing and public success as a fan favorite on the hit show The Bachelorette to his own personal dark night of the soul  to eventually discover his most authentic living—and reveals how surrendering to the breakdown led to his real breakthrough. If you're stuck between who you thought you should be and who you're actually meant to be, this episode is for you. ✨Key Takeaways From This Episode: What it truly means to "live free" beyond the surface-level advice The hidden cost of people-pleasing and external validation How childhood wounds (like the mother wound) shape our adult patterns Why public success can mask private suffering The difference between ego consciousness (success) and soul consciousness (fulfillment) How to recognize when you're living someone else's version of your life What spiritual fitness actually is—and why it's not just meditation and crystals The dark night of the soul as a necessary part of spiritual awakening How your body keeps the score of unhealed trauma The power of surrender and letting your identity shatter Why vulnerability and showing your "weak side" is actually your greatest strength How betrayal and loss can be your greatest teachers The 30-minute spiritual fitness practice to connect mind, body, and spirit Breaking generational patterns and ancestral trauma Why relationships are the ultimate mirror for your growth The difference between being busy and being in alignment with your purpose How to find community that actually supports your transformation RESOURCES MENTIONED: 🔗 Eric Bigger's Work:  Instagram: @ericbigger   Podcast: Spiritual Fitness with Eric Bigger  YouTube: @ericbiggsway  Website: www.ericbigger.com  🔗 Learn More About The Live Free Lifestyle Experience: https://www.thelivefreelifestyle.ca 🔗 Get A Copy of Leah's Book: A New Way of Life: A Guide For Transformation From Living A Lie To Freeing Your Soul https://www.amazon.com/New-Way-Life-Transformation-Freeing/dp/199903550X 🔗 Find Leah Online: Instagram: @leah.brathwaite Website: www.leahbrathwaite.com #livefreelifestyle #spiritualawakening #spiritualfitness #transformation #personaldevelopment #authenticity #mindset #darknight #healing #empowerment #soulwork #breakdowntobreakthrough #spiritualjourney #consciousness #selfhelp

Feeling stuck in cycles of overspending, financial anxiety, or the constant sense that there's never enough? In this transformative episode, Leah sits down with Brenda St. Louis—bestselling author, financial therapist, and money coach— who reveals that your money problems aren't actually money problems at all. They're nervous system issues rooted in inherited beliefs passed down through generations. Brenda breaks down the five toxic money beliefs keeping you trapped, shares the surprising truth about money's origin (it wasn't bartering), and shows you how to rewire your relationship with money from fear-based to love-based. If you're ready to heal your money story and experience genuine financial freedom, this episode will change everything. ✨ Key Takeaways From This Episode: Money issues are never actually money issues -they're nervous system and memory issues rooted in your emotional history The five toxic money beliefs: money is bad, I have to work hard for my money, money makes me look good, money will solve all my problems, and there's never enough Money didn't originate from bartering, it came from reciprocity and debt in ancient communities as a way to track generosity and connection Financial freedom is an inside job-it's not about the amount in your bank account, but being free of nervous system contraction around money Intimacy with money is the biggest growth lever in your financial journey (most people either obsessively track it or completely avoid it) What we do with money makes total emotional sense, even when it doesn't make logical sense Your money beliefs are inherited from your ancestors -clearing these patterns breaks the cycle for future generations The three pillars of a healthy money relationship: joy, peace, and confidence If you want to make more money, you first have to ask yourself: "Who do I need to become?" You can give someone a million dollars, but if they can't receive it, they'll be back to broke in five years (the "bird feeder" vs. building a nest) Your desires are divine direction, but they have to be YOUR authentic desires—not someone else's Instagram dream Money as a mirror: the way you treat money often reflects how you treat everything else in your life Creating a "chalice of receiving"—building your capacity to actually hold and steward wealth Fear-based money decisions contract you; love-based decisions expand you From the origin story of money to the nervous system: understanding that money was designed as connection, not separation RESOURCES MENTIONED: 🔗 Connect With Brenda St. Louis: Website: www.brendastlouis.com  Instagram: @brendastlouis  Facebook: Brenda St. Louis Money Coach  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5Stu48gifjEe1G9WnLM6nw 🔗 Brenda's Programs: 4-Week Rewire Your Wealth Immersive https://www.moneyanddesire.com/a/2148104929/FaFPtuGz 🔔 Subscribe for more conversations about emotional freedom, spiritual authenticity, and creating a life that feels as good as it looks. 🔗 Learn More About The Live Free Lifestyle Experience: https://www.thelivefreelifestyle.ca  🔗 Get A Copy of Leah's Book: A New Way of Life: A Guide For Transformation From Living A Lie To Freeing Your Soul https://www.amazon.com/New-Way-Life-Transformation-Freeing/dp/199903550X  🔗 Find Leah Online: Instagram: @leah.brathwaite Website:www.leahbrathwaite.com   #moneytalk #financialtherapy #moneycoach #wealthmindset #emotionalmoney #financialfreedom #nervousystemhealing #moneybeliefs #richwoman #abundancemindset #livefreelifestyle #transformation #personaldevelopment #moneyhealing #inheritedtrauma #spiritualwealth #womenandmoney #financialliteracy #somatic #authenticity #abundancecoach

In this heartfelt episode of the Live Free Lifestyle podcast, host Leah Brathwaite sits down with relationship mentor, entrepreneur, photographer, and friend Jennifer Hallett. Jennifer shares her powerful journey from a "Defcon 5" childhood environment to becoming a rule-breaking life designer who helps others create sacred, fulfilling relationships. She opens up about her pivotal moments of awakening—including quitting her corporate job—and how holding onto her inner conviction allowed her to design a life of freedom and authenticity. Jennifer reveals how she went from questioning whether great men even exist to manifesting a love beyond her wildest dreams by surrendering control and aligning with her true self. This conversation explores the beauty of unbecoming, the power of letting go and letting God, and how living from your soul rather than societal expectations creates pure magic in love and life. ✨Key Takeaways From This Episode: Freedom is about being a rule-breaking life designer, not just physical or material abundance Your childhood conviction about how life should be is often your soul's truth trying to guide you Much of what we're handed through parents, religion, teachers, and social media creates boxes we're not meant to live in The unbecoming process—stripping away masks and rules—is essential to finding your true self Great love appears when you move in accordance with who you actually are, not who you think you should be You can never dream up what's possible when you truly let go and let God (for real, for real) Internal relationship with yourself is the foundation for all external relationships Your soul constantly tries to wake you up through that feeling of "this isn't it" Surrendering control opens the door to a life of pure magic and lightness The deepest joy comes from seeing people come alive and remember who they are 🔔Subscribe for more conversations about self-discovery, transformation and creating a life that feels as good as it looks. 🔗Connect with Jennifer Hallett: Instagram: @jeylaloves TikTok: @jaylaloves Facebook: Jennifer Hallett Website: www.jenniferhallett.com   🔗Learn More About The Live Free Lifestyle Experience: www.thelivefreelifestyle.ca   🔗Get A Copy of Leah's Book: A New Way of Life: A Guide For Transformation From Living A Lie To Freeing Your Soul https://www.amazon.com/New-Way-Life-Transformation-Freeing/dp/199903550X   🔗Find Leah Online: Instagram: @leah.brathwaite Website: www.leahbrathwaite.com     #livefreelifestyle #holyrelationships #relationshipmentor #authenticliving #spiritualawakening #soulwisdom #transformation #manifestinglove #letgoandletgod #unbecoming Live Free Lifestyle, relationship mentor, holy love, self-discovery, personal development, authenticity, manifestation, transformation, soul's truth, personal growth, sacred relationships, letting go, life design, spiritual awakening

In this soul-stirring episode of the Live Free Lifestyle podcast, Leah sits down with her dear friend Kate Harlow—love and relationship coach, founder of The Expanded Love Method, and host of The New Truth podcast. Kate shares her powerful journey from being the ultimate "good girl" and people pleaser to living a completely unscripted life that has taken her from Vancouver to Greece to Kenya. The conversation dives deep into what it takes to untether from the scripted version of who you were taught to be and liberate your heart and soul to live a life that's truly for you. Kate reveals her first major act of living unscripted—changing her name at 25 and losing all her friends in the process—and how that initiation set her on a path of radical authenticity. She teaches about the five saboteur archetypes that keep women stuck in someone else's script and shares practical wisdom on how to distinguish between fear (that means GO) and intuitive nos. This episode is a masterclass in courage, sovereignty, and what becomes possible when you finally put yourself in the driver's seat of your own life. ✨Key Takeaways From This Episode: - Living free means untethering from the scripted version of who you were taught to be and following your soul's truth - The fear that comes with big life changes is actually an indicator you're on the right path—look for "the door with fear graffiti all over it" - Your body is your compass—anxiety often signals you're living out of alignment, saying yes when it's a no and no when it's a yes - Getting intimate with your saboteur (conditioned self) is the first step to reclaiming your authentic life - The five saboteur archetypes: Self-Sacrificer, Controller, Isolator, Shapeshifter, and Fantasy Addict - When you live from your truth, you may lose people who were "hired" to keep you in the script—but you gain yourself - Real security comes from being present in the moment and trusting the unfolding of your life, not from controlling the future - Building a deep, reverent relationship with yourself creates a life of love and attracts aligned relationships - Your desires (like Kate's tingles about Kenya) are divine direction—create space to hear them clearly - Feelings are information, not final—learn to distinguish the story from the sensation in your body 🔔Subscribe for more conversations about self-discovery, transformation and creating a life that feels as good as it looks. 🔗Connect With Kate Harlow: Website: https://www.theunscriptdwoman.com Instagram: @theunscriptdwoman Podcast: The New Truth (available on all platforms)   🔗Learn More About The Live Free Lifestyle Experience: https://www.thelivefreelifestyle.ca 🔗Get A Copy of Leah's Book: A New Way of Life: A Guide For Transformation From Living A Lie To Freeing Your Soul https://www.amazon.com/New-Way-Life-Transformation-Freeing/dp/199903550X 🔗Find Leah Online: Instagram: /leah.brathwaite Website: www.leahbrathwaite.com   #livefreelifestyle #livingunscripted #authenticliving #spiritualawakening #expandedlove #saboteur #goodgirlrecovery #soulwisdom #transformation #kateharlow #theunscriptdwoman #embodiment #nervousystemhealing #divinefeminine #consciousrelationships   Keywords: Live Free Lifestyle, living unscripted, Kate Harlow, Expanded Love Method, self-discovery, personal development, authenticity, saboteur archetypes, good girl syndrome, people pleasing, transformation, coaching, empowerment, soul's truth, personal growth, relationship coach, somatic wisdom, nervous system regulation, conscious living, divine feminineRetry

In this powerful episode Leah sits down with her friend Mark Groves—human connection specialist, author, and host of the Mark Groves podcast—for an unfiltered conversation about love, liberation, and the patterns that keep us stuck. Mark shares his personal journey from self-betrayal to sovereignty, revealing how external betrayal often begins with abandoning ourselves. Together, they explore the difference between love and wounded attachment, why we recreate the same relationship dynamics, and what it truly means to be free enough to choose. This is a raw, honest dialogue about breaking generational patterns, honoring your truth, and learning to stop abandoning yourself for the approval of others. If you're ready to stop performing and start living authentically, this conversation will shake you awake. ✨Key Takeaways From This Episode: - If you're not sovereign and free to leave a relationship, you're not free to choose it - When you don't live a truth you know, you trade a truth you need - Self-betrayal often begins long before external betrayal—it starts when we dishonor ourselves - The thing you wanted most as a child but didn't get is often what you unconsciously seek in relationships - Your emotions are not inconvenient—they're your soul's language and internal GPS - Being out of integrity with yourself creates literal inflammation in your body and mind - The shadow voice will always tell you to stay small—your job is to say "hell no" - Healing the suppression is in the expression of it - There's nothing broken about you—your feelings of emptiness are your soul calling you home - At some point you have to decide: will you keep playing victim or finally choose your life? - The truth always comes for you—either as a whisper or a cosmic dump truck - Liberation isn't comfortable, but staying small costs you everything 🔔Subscribe for more raw, unfiltered conversations about love, liberation, and living free. 🔗Connect With Mark Groves: Website: www.markgroves.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/itsmarkgroves / www.instagram.com/createthelove Podcast: The Mark Groves Podcast YouTube:  @markgroves  🔗Learn More About The Live Free Lifestyle Experience: https://www.thelivefreelifestyle.ca 🔗Get A Copy of Leah's Book: A New Way of Life: A Guide For Transformation From Living A Lie To Freeing Your Soul https://www.amazon.com/New-Way-Life-Transformation-Freeing/dp/199903550X 🔗Find Leah Online: Instagram: www.instagram.com/leah.brathwaite Website: www.leahbrathwaite.com   #livefreelifestyle #markgroves #humanconnection #sovereignty #selfbetrayal #consciousrelationships #liberation #attachmenttheory #emotionalintelligence #breakingpatterns #authenticity #soultruth #transformation   Live Free Lifestyle, Mark Groves, human connection, self-betrayal, sovereignty, wounded attachment, relationship patterns, emotional liberation, conscious relationships, living your truth, breaking free, personal transformation, self-abandonment, authentic love

In this episode of the Live Free Lifestyle Podcast, host Leah Brathwaite engages in a profound conversation with Academy Award-nominated actress, author and mental health advocate, Mariel Hemingway. They explore the essence of freedom, the journey of self-discovery, and the importance of personal responsibility in healing. Mariel shares her journey from living under the weight of the Hemingway legacy to discovering her own authentic path. She reveals how she transformed a family history of mental illness and addiction into a life of purpose, presence, and freedom—and what it truly means to remember who you are beneath all the conditioning.   ✨ Key Takeaways From This Episode: Freedom is the ability to breathe without hesitation and be fully present in the moment The only person who can heal you, guide you, and save you is yourself—teachers are catalysts, not saviors We create survival roles as young as seven years old that we keep performing for decades Your authentic self isn't something you need to find—she's already inside you, waiting to be acknowledged Relationships are our greatest teachers, showing us where we abandon ourselves Taking responsibility for your story (not blame) is what allows you to leave it behind and turn it into purpose The "woman on the island" meditation: your true self and your survival self merging into wholeness Hard conversations—with yourself and others—are essential for authentic living and real intimacy Your mess becomes your message when you've processed it enough that it's cellularly integrated Telling the truth is a simple yet profound act most of us are ill-equipped to do 🔔 Subscribe for more conversations about breaking generational patterns, reclaiming your authentic self, and living free from the weight of who you thought you had to be. 🔗 Connect With Mariel Hemingway: Instagram: @marielhemingway Website: https://www.marielhemingwayfoundation.org  🔗 Find Leah Online: Instagram: @leah.brathwaite Website: www.leahbrathwaite.com 🔗 Learn More About The Live Free Lifestyle Experience: https://www.leahbrathwaite.com 🔗 Get A Copy of Leah's Book: A New Way of Life: A Guide For Transformation From Living A Lie To Freeing Your Soul https://www.amazon.com/New-Way-Life-Transformation-Freeing/dp/199903550X   #livefreelifestyle #marielhemingway #authenticity #legacy #freedom #presentmoment #healing #selfdiscovery #spiritualawakening #transformation #breakingpatterns #mentalhealth #embodiment #truth Keywords: Live Free Lifestyle, Mariel Hemingway, Ernest Hemingway, breaking generational patterns, authentic living, mental health advocacy, spiritual awakening, self-discovery, embodiment, freedom, presence, healing trauma, personal transformation, inner wisdom, relationship healing  

In this powerful episode, Leah welcomes her first guest and private client, Jess Prudhomme, host of The Great Detour podcast. Jess shares her courageous journey of leaving a 10-year corporate career at a Fortune 500 company, ending her 17-year marriage, and navigating the uncomfortable space between who she thought she should be and who she truly is. This conversation dives deep into what it really takes to live authentically—including the grief, loss, and loneliness that can come with choosing yourself. Jess reveals her biggest breakthrough: realizing that life doesn't have to be so hard when you're in alignment with your soul's purpose. From Type A overachiever to soul-led living, this episode is for anyone who's ever felt successful on paper but empty inside. ✨Key Takeaways From This Episode: - Living free means living in deep authenticity, even when it costs you relationships and identity - Alignment doesn't always last forever—what once served you may no longer fit - Your soul's whispers start soft but get louder until you can't ignore them anymore - There's often grief and loss on the path to authentic living, but it creates space for what's truly aligned - Overachieving and hustling are often compensatory behaviors for feeling unworthy - When you're in alignment, there's ease and flow—life doesn't have to be so hard - You can't figure out your purpose while clinging to what no longer serves you - Building a sense of home within yourself is the most important foundation - Following nudges and trusting your intuition will lead you exactly where you need to be - Catastrophic thinking can shift to hopeful curiosity when you reconnect with your truth 🔔Subscribe for more conversations about self-discovery, transformation and creating a life that feels as good as it looks. 🔗Learn More About The Live Free Lifestyle Experience: https://www.thelivefreelifestyle.ca  Private 1:1 or Next Group Experience begins Friday October 3, 2025. 🔗Connect with Jess Prudhomme: Website: https://thegreatdetour.com Instagram: @thegreatdetour 🔗Get A Copy of Leah's Book: A New Way of Life: A Guide For Transformation From Living A Lie To Freeing Your Soul https://www.amazon.com/New-Way-Life-Transformation-Freeing/dp/199903550X 🔗Find Leah Online: Instagram: @leah.brathwaite Website: www.leahbrathwaite.com   #livefreelifestyle #authenticliving #corporatedetour #soulalignment #rememberwhoYouare #personaltransformation #divorcehealing #careerchange #spiritualawakening #livefree Live Free Lifestyle, authentic living, career transformation, divorce healing, corporate burnout, soul alignment, personal development, overachieving, Type A personality, life detours, self-discovery, inner work, alignment, intuition, purpose

In this transformative episode, host Leah Brathwaite reveals the truth about purpose that no one talks about - it's not something you do, it's who you are. She shares her powerful personal story of having the "perfect" life at 30 but feeling completely lost and unfulfilled, leading to a cosmic wake-up call that changed everything. Leah breaks down her proven 3-phase Live Free Method (Find, Form, Free) for discovering your authentic purpose and explains why trying to fit in is actually keeping you from the people and opportunities meant for you. If you've ever felt successful on paper but empty inside, this episode will help you understand that your purpose isn't hiding somewhere out there - it's already within you, waiting to be remembered and expressed. ✨Key Takeaways From This Episode: Your purpose isn't something you do - it's who you are and how you do everything Building a life out of alignment happens through small incremental decisions over time We're all meant to be completely differentiated - no two people are the same The "cosmic slap" often comes when we ignore our soul's whispers for too long Phase 1 - FIND: Reconnect with who you really are beneath pressure and expectations Phase 2 - FORM: Break habitual patterns and create new empowering standards Phase 3 - FREE: Fully embody your purpose and become magnetic to your dreams How will people meant for you find you if you're trying to be like someone else? Your intuition and imagination are divine gifts to help you express yourself fully You are the "youest you" - one in 8 billion perfectly created to live your dreams The world needs your unique frequency and specific gifts to be expressed 🎯 Action Steps Mentioned: Ask yourself: "If I knew I couldn't fail and no one would judge me, what would I be doing?"

In this vulnerable episode, Leah talks about the internal resistance that comes with growth and the three blocks that keep successful women feeling stuck: people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-abandonment. She shares how to recognize the difference between fear-based thinking and authentic inner guidance. ✨ Key Takeaways From This Episode: Mental resistance often increases when approaching meaningful action or growth Three patterns create internal conflict: people-pleasing (conditioning vs. calling), perfectionism (external validation addiction), and self-abandonment (emotional invalidation) These patterns appear during difficult conversations, boundary-setting, or pursuing goals Two distinct internal voices operate: conditioning (prioritizes safety and familiarity) and authentic guidance (directs toward expansion) Conditioning-based thoughts include "I can't" or "I'm not ready"—authentic guidance sounds like "this feels right" or "I'm meant for this" Fear-based thoughts typically feel contractive; authentic guidance feels expansive Conditioning voices are often louder initially, while authentic guidance is quieter but persistent Resistance can signal proximity to growth rather than indication to stop The ability to recognize and choose between these internal voices distinguishes those who create change from those who remain in familiar patterns 🔔 Subscribe for more conversations about authentic living, soul guidance, and stepping into your power despite the resistance.   🔗 Learn More About The Live Free Lifestyle Experience: https://www.thelivefreelifestyle.ca   🔗 Get A Copy of Leah's Book: A New Way of Life: A Guide For Transformation From Living A Lie To Freeing Your Soul https://www.amazon.com/New-Way-Life-Transformation-Freeing/dp/199903550X   🔗 Find Leah Online: Instagram: @leah.brathwaite Website: www.leahbrathwaite.com #livefreelifestyle #innerresistance #authenticity #personalgrowth #decisionmaking #selfawareness #mindset #transformation Keywords: Live Free Lifestyle, inner resistance, authentic living, decision making, personal growth, self-awareness, mindset, transformation, internal guidance, fear vs intuition

In this powerful episode, Leah Brathwaite challenges one of the most pervasive myths in manifestation culture: that you need to be "high vibe" all the time. She reveals why mood doesn't manifest (identity does) and shares the profound wisdom that your emotions aren't obstacles to overcome—they're the language your soul uses to guide you home to yourself and your best life. ✨ Key Takeaways From This Episode: Your mood doesn't manifest—your identity does, so stop forcing high-vibe energy Emotions are information, not problems; they're your internal GPS system Toxic positivity in manifestation culture disconnects you from your authentic power We store our emotional issues in our physical tissues until we process them The coffee cup wisdom: when life bumps you, you express what's already inside you Emotional intelligence involves naming, connecting to, and choosing how to respond to feelings Soul guidance feels gentle and expansive; ego reactions feel urgent and contractive It only takes 90 seconds for an emotion to move through when you don't resist it Historical reactions ("if it's hysterical, it's historical") reveal unprocessed past emotions Your authentic self is where your real manifestation power lives   🔔 Subscribe for more conversations about emotional freedom, spiritual authenticity, and creating a life that feels as good as it looks. 🔗 Learn More About The Live Free Lifestyle Experience: https://www.leahbrathwaite.com 🔗 Get A Copy of Leah's Book: A New Way of Life: A Guide For Transformation From Living A Lie To Freeing Your Soul https://www.amazon.com/New-Way-Life-Transformation-Freeing/dp/199903550X 🔗 Find Leah Online: Instagram: @leah.brathwaite Website: www.leahbrathwaite.com #livefreelifestyle #emotionalintelligence #soulwisdom #manifestation #authenticliving #spiritualawakening #emotionalfreedom #neville goddard #transformation #validation Keywords: Live Free Lifestyle, emotional intelligence, manifestation myths, toxic positivity, soul guidance, Neville Goddard, feeling validation, authentic living, spiritual development, personal transformation, emotional regulation, inner wisdom
