Today, I’m diving into a word we hear everywhere- liberation. It’s shouted in political movements and whispered in personal transformation journeys. But even though we all seem to crave it, why does it feel so slippery, so hard to define?

In this episode, I unpack why liberation is more than just a moment, it’s a practice. It’s not a single event or a final destination. It’s cyclical, layered, and ever-evolving. And it’s something we have to claim for ourselves because if we don’t, someone else will define it for us.

• Why liberation isn’t a finish line—it’s a lifelong practice.
• The fear of what we lose when we let go of struggle and productivity.
• How conditioning makes us more comfortable with suffering than with thriving.
• The subtle ways colonialism has made us addicted to speed and productivity.
• My personal story of pushing through grief by clinging to productivity—and the long road back to true healing.
• Why slowing down isn’t lazy—it’s revolutionary.

Liberation is messy. It asks us to release the identities we’ve clung to for safety- like being the hardworking one or the reliable one. It asks us to unlearn generations of conditioning that equate suffering with worth. And sometimes, it means slowing down when everything in us wants to speed up.

By the end of this episode, I hope liberation feels more personal less like a distant dream and more like something you can reach for right now. Because you deserve to thrive, not just survive.
