Ending Freedom: The Power of Choosing You with Vesta Hurlbutt

In this episode of The Soul Mirror, host Shreya sits down with empowerment strategist, health coach, and functional nutritionist Vesta Hurlbutt. As a single mother and advocate for self-forgiveness, Vesta shares how reclaiming your power begins with choosing yourself every day—even when responsibilities, societal pressures, and personal struggles seem overwhelming. From morning rituals to redefining freedom, she opens up about the importance of self-care, forgiveness, and embracing vulnerability as a strength. This conversation offers practical wisdom and emotional depth for anyone seeking to live unapologetically and on their own terms.

• Freedom evolves over time; it’s a practice, not a final destination.

• Small rituals, like morning quiet time, can shift your perspective and energy.

• Forgiveness can feel like weakness, but it actually reclaims your power.
