Living Free in a World Built to Control You

We live inside systems so deeply ingrained that most of us never stop to question them—until something in our soul starts to push back.

In this powerful solo episode of Star Women Rising, Melinda dives into the unseen architecture of modern life: government systems, medical systems, educational systems, media narratives, and even belief systems that quietly shape our choices, limit our potential, and keep us operating in survival mode.

Drawing from her lived experience in the criminal justice system and her own spiritual awakening, Melinda explores how these structures rely on our participation to survive—and how reclaiming your fire requires conscious disentanglement from systems that were never designed for your freedom.

Through candid reflection, cultural observation, and a striking parallel to The Matrix, this episode challenges listeners to ask deeper questions:

• What systems am I unconsciously consenting to?
• Where am I trading comfort for truth?
• What would it look like to live as a free thinker instead of a managed participant?

This isn’t about rejecting society—it’s about remembering your agency, trusting your inner authority, and bravely choosing expansion over illusion. Breaking free isn’t glamorous. It’s uncomfortable. It takes courage. But on the other side is clarity, sovereignty, and a fire that can’t be contained.

If you’ve ever felt like something about “the way things are” doesn’t sit right with your spirit—this episode is for you.
