Is Your Liberation an Illness? EP18

Dr. Amanda Hanson
About this episode

Have you ever been told to be a "good" or "pleasing" woman? Like we are being graded on some sort of scale that tells us that we are “good” or “bad”.

 

It’s time to break free from the cages society has placed around us, particularly as women. There are challenges of being viewed as "crazy" or "unhinged" by those still trapped in their cages, but I want you to see this as a reflection of others' fears rather than a judgment of your own worth.

 

When we embrace our freedoms, we can soar, despite the fear of rejection, and normalize living authentically and bravely. My message is clear: our freedom is not only for ourselves but also for the world, as it inspires others to break free and live fully expressed lives.

 

For those of you feeling isolated or unsure on this path, this episode is for you. 

 

In a world where staying small feels safer, I want to remind you to take up space and lead lives of courage and authenticity. It’s a heartfelt invitation to step into your power and join a movement of women who are redefining what it means to be truly free.

 

In this episode, I'm discussing:

  • The fear others have of a woman’s freedom

  • Normalizing freedom and authenticity

  • The significance of community and support

  • Challenging the status quo

  • True freedom and authenticity

 

Let's normalize freedom for women everywhere, and in doing so, create a world where every woman can soar.

 

Stay free, stay close, and remember—you were always meant to fly.
