Make Some Noise with Andrea Owen

Episode 667: Lesson 7 on The Three Things We’re All Searching For - Freedom, Feeling Alive, and Wholeness


Listen Later

When it comes to life, we’re all looking for various things that will ultimately lead to our fulfillment. But what I’ve come to realize is that at the end of the day, for most of us, it comes down to three things we’re all searching for: freedom, feeling alive, and wholeness. 


And here's the truth: they’re not “out there.” These experiences come from within, and often, they require us to do the work. Whether it’s emotional freedom, reigniting your passion, or embracing your whole self, it’s a journey. By the way, this episode is part of a special series. There are six others you can check out (linked below) where I share the most impactful life lessons I’ve learned and lived, leading up to my 50th birthday.


You don’t need to cannonball into exploring what it means to be free, alive or whole. Start small. Try a moment of honesty, do something you love, or simply journal about it. These are inner shifts, daily choices that matter. As you listen to this episode or afterward, ask yourself these questions: Where do you feel most free, alive, and whole? Where do you need more of that? You’re allowed to claim it now, not later.

What you’ll hear about in this episode:


  • What Freedom Really Means: Emotional freedom, freedom of choice, and freedom in relationships, what blocks it (like people-pleasing and perfectionism), and how to reclaim it through self-trust, surrender, and questioning your conditioning.
  • What It Really Means to Feel Alive: I’m talking beyond just happiness, including passion, purpose, play, and intuition, what shuts it down, and how to reignite your aliveness through curiosity, embodiment, and saying yes to what lights you up.
  • How to Embrace The True Meaning of Wholeness: Accept all parts of yourself without needing to be “fixed,” the ways we resist it through shame, regret, and perfectionism, and how to cultivate it through self-compassion, shadow work, and honoring your journey.
