I wanted to be okay, internally, with the fact that I thought differently — and that was really hard for me to do. In this episode of the Soul Script Podcast, I share the story of how I learned to trust myself when thinking differently didn't feel safe.

This journey began while I was still connected to the church community I grew up in and struggling with the idea of internal authority — the idea that I could trust myself even when my beliefs didn't align with those around me.

Through symbolism, character embodiment, and a deeply meaningful moment in Cambodia, I learned that transformation isn't about becoming someone new — it's about realizing you no longer need permission to be who you already are.

This episode is for anyone who:

• Feels afraid to think differently

• Is stepping away from a belief system or community

• Is learning to trust their own inner authority

• Wants to embody confidence instead of just thinking about it

WHAT THIS EPISODE EXPLORES

• Why thinking differently can feel unsafe

• Internal vs external authority

• Embodiment as a nervous-system practice

• Using symbolism and characters to access new ways of being

• Letting go of the need to be understood

• Choosing yourself without needing permission
