In the second episode of the Freedom Culture podcast, the host delves on her life changing decision that got initiated with a trip to Paris, right before her 40th birthday. Being a mother of six and working relentlessly on a full-time job and a home staging business, burnout was imminent. The host shares that the trip provided her the space and time she needed to reassess her life. She discovered her ultimate need for freedom, and felt the strong pull to exclusively be her own boss. The episode ended on a note encouraging listeners to take meaningful breaks in their lives, set intentions, and make changes that align more with their personal fulfilment and happiness.
