What does it mean to be untethered?
What exactly does it mean to be "untethered" and why is it something you might consider doing?
I was called to title this podcast using this word after a conversation with a mentor, who had helped me to see that it was invisible tethers that had kept (and were keeping) me from fully living my most authentic life. I was holding myself back from fully stepping into all the magic of life, because of these little worries and fears about not meeting the expectations of my family, not meeting the expectations of society, of my gender.
In short, I was worried as hell about what others thought of me. And I'm not alone. After conversation after conversation on this podcast, I hear a similar theme. It's my goal to help myself and others to intentionally untether ourselves from societal, relational, and cultural expectations and rediscover our true authenticity.ย
In this episode, I share one such incident - a story about how I my Christmas this year, and all the ways my tethers tried to get in the way of having the most magical experience. ย
