Welcome to Episode 12 of Season 6 of the Woman Uncaged Podcast!

Freedom gets talked about like cruising down a long stretch of highway without a care in the world: no obligations, no attachments, no one asking anything of you. But when we slow down and feel into the truth, a lot of us do not actually feel free in isolation. We dig into what freedom really means for women, especially in midlife, and why the most “independent” version of freedom doesn't work for everybody.

We talk about the masculine model of freedom as separation and how that shows up in commitment fears and talk of boundaries. We explore how to be fully in relationship without giving up our voice and our independence. Along the way we reference Carol Gilligan’s work and reflect on the difference between what freedom looks like on paper and what freedom actually feels like in our bodies and in our lives.

Subscribe, share with a friend who’s rethinking relationship and independence, and leave a review. What does freedom mean to you, and when do you feel it most?
