Changing The Story with Lana Dingwall

One of the things we have to realize when talking about freedom is that it isn’t linear, it doesn’t look or feel the same for everyone, and is very multifaceted.    Freedom, by the very nature of the word, is free to mean different things to different people.    One of the topics we discussed on The Lighthouse Collective last week was the idea of intuition and how to strengthen our connection to it by uncovering our true authentic values.   Often what gets in the way of us making empowered choices for ourselves, is that we’re using someone else's definition of freedom and success as our measure of success.    Freedom is often the sales pitch that’s used to sell entrepreneurship. It’s also the script used to shame others for not wanting it.   The pairing of entrepreneurship and freedom can be misleading because freedom can be found anywhere: it can be found by breaking down the delusions we have about ourselves and everyone around us.   On the episode, I cover: Why popular entrepreneurship content can be lacking in integrity How to hold space for the contradictions of both the positives and negatives in life Why suffering is part of the human condition How power and privilege plays into our need for freedom   Remember, you’re doing better than you think.   I believe in you.
