As America celebrates it's 250th anniversary Independence Day this week, I found myself thinking about another kind of freedom: Personal freedom. Emotional freedom. The freedom to become the personyou’re capable of becoming.

Merriam-Webster defines sovereign as having freedom from external control. That’s the kind of sovereignty we’re exploring in this episode.

In Episode 20 of Becoming: Conversations in Elegance & Empowerment, we’re talking about identityexpansion, emotional maturity, healthy interdependence and what it means to govern your own life while remaining connected to the people who matter. We’re exploring:

• The difference between enmeshment, independence & interdependence.

• Why some people choose isolation after deep enmeshment.

• What healthy cohesion looks like in families & relationships.

• How sovereignty protects your peace without disconnecting you from love.

• What it means to step into the next version of yourself.

Many women come to me when they’re quietly realizing they’ve outgrown an old version of themselves,yet they haven’t fully stepped into the next one.
