You don't need permission to be free. The door was never locked. This is about spiritual freedom. Energetic freedom.
We're exploring how to liberate ourselves from invisible conditioning that keeps us stuck in cycles of approval-seeking, overworking, self-doubt, and playing small. This episode discusses living in alignment with fifth-dimensional consciousness, where freedom isn't just a concept but a vibration.
• Freedom involves recognizing and releasing old beliefs around money, time, and fear-based obligation
• The "veil" represents conditioning and programming that can be rewritten
• True freedom means releasing the belief that time is scarce and that our worth depends on productivity
• Fifth-dimensional living prioritizes trust over fear, intuition over obligation, and flow over force
• When we free ourselves, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same
• Spiritual maturity means freeing yourself without forcing others to change
• Freedom reverses the "have-then-be" philosophy to "be-then-have"
• Journal prompts offered include examining what old beliefs influence your decisions
• Meditation practice helps access the feeling of freedom in your body

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, welcome back to Transform your Life.
Just Count Me In a podcastwhere miracles meet mindset and
our personal transformation isnot only possible, it's our
birthright.
So this episode is incelebration of the 4th of July
and happened to time really well.
(00:21):
With this new moon cycle, I amdoing this episode about freedom
.
This is freedom to choose.
We're stepping into the freedomto choose not just in the outer
world, but from deep withinourselves.
What we're talking about inessence here is lifting the veil
(00:42):
.
In essence, here is lifting theveil, the invisible
conditioning that keeps us stuckin cycles of approval, seeking
overworking self-doubt orplaying small.
In this past week, I have comeacross this in almost every one
of my students when it comes toobstacles that we're clearing
(01:05):
and behaviors that we areunhooking ourselves from, to
free ourselves from, and theyall had some work to do in this
area, and it's an ongoingproject for me too.
So we're going to explore howto live in alignment with the
fifth dimension, where freedomis not really a concept, it's
more of a vibration.
We're going to explore how tolive in alignment with the fifth
(01:25):
dimension, where freedom is notreally a concept, it's more of
a vibration.
We're going to unpack how oldbeliefs around money and time
and needing permission andfear-based obligation can be
gently released.
These are all the things thatwe've been working on this week.
We've been working on this weekand maybe most importantly,
(01:48):
we're going to talk about thefact that when we liberate
ourselves, we unconsciously giveothers permission to do the
same.
This is freedom as a spiritualrevolution, and it starts inside
.
Lifting the veil starts inside.
Lifting the veil, as I call it,is what are we really freeing
ourselves from?
Let's get on this.
(02:10):
So many of us are still waitingfor someone to say you're
allowed to rest, you are allowedto change your mind, you are
allowed to stop living foreveryone else, you are allowed
(02:30):
to decide to do nothingsometimes, because nothing isn't
nothing, nothing is stillsomething, and that someone is
not going to be a knight inshining armor, that someone has
to be us.
It was recently recommended tome that I watch the new Snow
White movie, and I plan on doingthat, because in this one, she
makes the move from princess toqueen, and I think this is the
(02:53):
same concept.
So lifting the veil meansseeing clearly that the old
beliefs and the old energypatterns that have kept us stuck
in more of the 3D living, whichis rules that are based on
survival, scarcity and fear, andhere are some common veils that
(03:14):
we carry.
There's a belief that time isscarce and we're always behind,
and we've talked about it inthis podcast.
It's impossible to be behind inyour own life because it's it's
your life.
It's not someone else's life,not someone else's time stamp on
it.
We also have a fear that we'renot worthy unless we're
(03:40):
productive, and this goes rightdown to my little third grader
today.
We're not worthy unless we'reproducing, and not only that,
but we're not worthy unlesswe're producing our very best.
The illusion that we needpermission to change direction
or say no.
(04:02):
I have some seniors this yearthat I'm coaching.
They graduated and some peopleit's about travel this summer,
just traveling, just being freeto travel and find themselves
that way, without the obligationof high school or a job.
For one of them, it's working.
She's working at her firstfull-time job and just saving a
(04:24):
lot of money because she wantsto have a little bit more
freedom when she's in collegefor spending money.
For someone else, it's more ofhonoring the metamorphosis
that's going on inside of herand stepping back from social
obligations, stepping back fromthat whole senior summer quote
(04:44):
unquote that everybody seems tobe living and expecting her to
be doing and just focusing onherself it's her first single
summer in years and focusing onher family.
And they're all teaching methat there are so many different
ways that we imposeexpectations on children and so
many different ways that weimpose expectations on children
and so many different ways thatwe've imposed we've had them
(05:08):
imposed on us that have hugelyinfluenced our choices, and
we're ready to just lift thatveil.
We're ready to just look atwhat it is that we really want
and realize that none of this isabsolute truth.
It's programming.
Programming can be rewritten.
(05:32):
We're also talking a little bitabout fifth dimensional living,
and if you're not familiar withthat term, it's more of a
frequency freedom.
5d living is not a place, it'sa state of being.
So 5D living means we'retrusting instead of fearing.
(05:53):
We're living from that place.
We're honoring intuition morethan obligation, and I'm going
to tell you, these feelfantastic when you give yourself
permission to experiment withthem.
They're not always receivedwell from people who have known
(06:15):
us our whole lives, but at thispoint their opinions really
aren't my business and that'swhat I tell my students, and
they are happier than they'veever been, and so am I.
Fifth dimensional living alsoprioritizes flow over force,
(06:36):
just living with more ease,feeling where am I in alignment
and am I fighting the current oram I flowing with my life?
And the feeling of unity overseparation, the state of
connectedness.
We crave that.
We crave connection because weare connection.
So in the 5D we stop waitingfor permission to be ourselves.
(07:02):
I mean, who else are you goingto be?
We align with what feels trueand expansive and alive in every
moment.
We stop performing and becauseof that we're able to start
receiving.
We honor the truth of our soulinstead of looking for things to
(07:26):
put on our resume.
And when you claim that freedom, you are not just changing your
life, you're creating ripplesin the universe.
You free your friends, you freeyour children from inherited
pressure, you free yourrelationships from silent
resentment.
You become an invitation tostep fully into their lives as
(07:51):
well.
So here's the deep medicineTrue freedom also includes
freeing others.
I'm a really altruistic personand I care very much about
helping this be a better world.
I always have Making this abetter place, helping people
(08:14):
find what it is that trulyresonates with their highest and
greatest and happiest form ofself-expression, and I find that
the deeper I go into thisfreedom myself, the more it
frees those around me, whetherit's someone I'm having a casual
(08:35):
conversation with at the foodstore, or whether it's someone I
meet when I'm walking in themorning, or whether it's a
client or a friend or even somereceptive family members.
And sometimes that meansletting go of control, letting
go of judgment or the roles thatwe've outgrown and this was a
(08:58):
tough one for me and it might befor you, or it might be easier
for you but sometimes we've justoutgrown things.
We don't have to keep holdingthe same roles the rescuer, the
fixer, the martyr, the peoplepleaser just because you always
have.
I know one of my roles in myfamily was to be the glue, like
(09:23):
in the extended family, anddefinitely people came together
because I'm a good connector andwhen we came into town from out
of state, we would always getpeople together.
I'd still love it if people gottogether, but you know what?
I can't be the only one wholoves it, I can't be the only
one who's always pushing for it,and so I've let go of being the
(09:46):
glue.
You're allowed to leave adynamic that drains your spirit
in this dimension, and this is adifferent way of looking at it.
For me and it has been one ofthe best changes I've ever made
(10:10):
I have given other peoplepermission to just have their
own path, even if it looks messy.
I have been able to step backwithout guilt when someone just
no longer aligns and we're justnot in alignment People that
don't see me for who I really am, or people that have
(10:33):
preconceived notions.
I've just taken a step back.
I call this true spiritualmaturity, and I've got kids in
middle school that are able todo it, so I take my hat off to
them.
It took me a lot longer.
I free myself and I don't forceanyone else to change so that I
(11:00):
feel better.
So it's not have and then be,it's be and then have, have and
then be means.
When I have this, when I havethis friendship, when I have
this person's approval, when Ihave this friendship, when I
(11:22):
have this person's approval,when I have this job, when I
have this boat or this car, thenI will be happy and it couldn't
be further than the truth.
The cart before the horse.
Freedom is actually creation isallowing those around us to be
(11:59):
as they are and feeling the waywe want to feel and the way we
desire to feel, being the truth,being joy, being content, being
loving, and then we have thehaving, the having comes to us.
So this was a lot, and I thinkthat some journal prompts might
(12:22):
help you explore deeper.
I'm also going to be offering amaster class on this in the
summer, in August, and I'd loveit if you some space for you to
(12:49):
reflect.
But here they are, in case youwant to write them down.
What old belief about money ortime or approval still
influences your decisions?
Where in your life are youwaiting for permission?
(13:09):
What does freedom feel like inyour body?
How can you cultivate more ofthat and what roles do you play
that just don't feel alignedanymore?
Really, give these some thought.
(13:32):
Who or what are you ready toset free with love?
And you can repeat these aloudor write them in your journal.
I am free to choose my path.
I honor my truth, even whenothers don't understand it.
(13:57):
I trust the flow of life andthe wisdom of my soul.
Freedom is my birthright.
I claim my freedom now.
I let go of inheritedlimitations and create new
(14:20):
realities, and my favorite one Ifree myself, I allow others to
walk their own journey.
So I'm also going to offer ameditation with this one, and
I'm going to ask you to find acomfortable place, or pause this
and come back to it when you'reable to do the meditation.
(14:43):
Close your eyes and let's take amoment and step into the
frequency of freedom.
Take a deep breath in throughthe nose and sigh it out through
the mouth Again.
(15:05):
Inhale freedom, exhale alltension.
Now imagine a veil gentlylifting from your mind's eye.
See yourself walking through adoorway into a space where there
(15:27):
are no rules, no pressure, nofear.
In this space, there's onlylove.
Love surrounds you, only truthand only expansion.
(15:55):
This is what it's like when welive from our soul.
Feel what it's like to livefrom your soul, where you don't
need permission to rest, todream, to change or to shine.
Notice what your body feelslike in this space Light unbound
(16:22):
, whole, almost like you'refloating hold, almost like
you're floating, and I want youto feel the sun.
Feel the sun as though you'relaying in a field of grass or on
the beach and you're justletting the sun go right through
(16:46):
you into the ground, float onwater and let the water support
you and let it gently rock you.
You feel whole, you feelweightless, you feel free.
Whisper to yourself I am free,I am sovereign, I am sovereign,
(17:11):
I am aligned.
Memorize this feeling and comeback to this meditation every
day.
Give it a few weeks.
Give it a few weeks and, whenyou're ready, gently wiggle your
(17:35):
fingers and your toes, elbowsand wrists, ankles and knees,
and open your eyes, take a lookaround and see things with new
eyes.
Take a look around, take abreath in and feel the freedom.
(17:58):
Today's the day you begin.
This is your freedom.
You've lifted the veil.
