In this soul-stirring episode of the Live Free Lifestyle podcast, Leah sits down with her dear friend Kate Harlow—love and relationship coach, founder of The Expanded Love Method, and host of The New Truth podcast. Kate shares her powerful journey from being the ultimate "good girl" and people pleaser to living a completely unscripted life that has taken her from Vancouver to Greece to Kenya.
The conversation dives deep into what it takes to untether from the scripted version of who you were taught to be and liberate your heart and soul to live a life that's truly for you. Kate reveals her first major act of living unscripted—changing her name at 25 and losing all her friends in the process—and how that initiation set her on a path of radical authenticity. She teaches about the five saboteur archetypes that keep women stuck in someone else's script and shares practical wisdom on how to distinguish between fear (that means GO) and intuitive nos. This episode is a masterclass in courage, sovereignty, and what becomes possible when you finally put yourself in the driver's seat of your own life.
✨Key Takeaways From This Episode:
- Living free means untethering from the scripted version of who you were taught to be and following your soul's truth
- The fear that comes with big life changes is actually an indicator you're on the right path—look for "the door with fear graffiti all over it"
- Your body is your compass—anxiety often signals you're living out of alignment, saying yes when it's a no and no when it's a yes
- Getting intimate with your saboteur (conditioned self) is the first step to reclaiming your authentic life
- The five saboteur archetypes: Self-Sacrificer, Controller, Isolator, Shapeshifter, and Fantasy Addict - When you live from your truth, you may lose people who were "hired" to keep you in the script—but you gain yourself
- Real security comes from being present in the moment and trusting the unfolding of your life, not from controlling the future
- Building a deep, reverent relationship with yourself creates a life of love and attracts aligned relationships
- Your desires (like Kate's tingles about Kenya) are divine direction—create space to hear them clearly
- Feelings are information, not final—learn to distinguish the story from the sensation in your body
