EXCHANGING EGO FOR SOUL: What Does True Soul Freedom Look Like? 122

 
 

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 122

If you’re following along week by week, you know that last week we talked about the difference between ego and soul. This week, we’re going to talk about what soul freedom looks like. 

The whole point of this series, and of my course The Path Back to You, is finding how to unlock the freedom to live your life out of soul freedom. Because if you’re not living out of freedom, what are you even doing?!? And yet, I’ve spent decades of my life living in bondage to people or stories that we haven’t chosen for ourselves. 

When you’re not living life out of soul freedom, it’s usually because you haven’t figured out what you really want, or you haven’t given yourself permission to actually go after it. 

So let’s talk about what soul freedom is and how you can choose it!

True soul freedom comes when you have the autonomy of choice. So often, the lowest times in our lives happen when we have no good choices. Choice can be taken away from us in many different ways, some we can control. Others, we can’t. 

Even when someone isn’t actively taking away your freedom, limiting beliefs that are passively handed down can also take freedom away. Even if you have had the best childhood imaginable, a marriage a Disney princess would be jealous of, a career that lights you up, and a family that champions you endlessly, you can still uncover messages you’ve believed that limit your freedom. 

Let me give you an example and go more in depth in today’s podcast.

EPISODE 122 TOPICS:

  • What following our envy can reveal

  • You’re not the only one devoid of freedom to choose; everyone you know, even those you least expect, feels suffocated in some aspect of their life. 

  • Soul freedom to me: Choosing the life I long for, even if there are painful consequences.

REPARENTING YOUR INNER CHILD: Compassion for Yourself and Those Who Raised You 130

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 130. Reparenting your inner child is one of the most powerful tools for healing we have in our toolbox.  What do I mean by “reparenting?”  What do I mean by “inner child?” Some of you may be familiar with these ideas, and some of you maybe not so much. 

In simple terms, your inner child is the part of your psyche that is vulnerable, needy, sensitive, and also joyful, exuberant, and honest. Most of us shove aside our childlike tendencies in adolescence to become “mature adults,” only to later realize that connecting to our inner child helps us experience the fullness of life to a greater degree.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 129.

Throughout this journey, we’ve been working hard on raising our vibrations and being responsible for the energy we give and we surround ourselves with, we’ve worked on living from soul instead of ego, and we’re currently working on removing shame and shedding limiting beliefs. I don’t think we can fully remove shame or shed limiting beliefs without dealing with the magnitude of the word should and totally eliminating it from our vocabulary. So while this Part 5 is not expected, it’s absolutely necessary.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 127. How am I still dealing with these same issues, I wondered. I thought I had looked through everything. I had peeled back layers. I had done some major healing. For a year. 

And that’s when I woke up to the real cause– and purpose– of these wounded cycles we inflict upon ourselves. 

Each of us has some core wounds we internalize in childhood.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 126. Shame and limiting beliefs are like two sides of the same coin. Shame tells us that we are bad and wrong, and often, limiting beliefs can tell us that others are bad and wrong.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 121. My kids recently lost their great grandfather. It was an open casket. Before the visitation, I told my kids that even though they’d be looking at their great grandfather’s body, his soul was not there.  Have you ever noticed that the body never really looks like the person did in life? There are many reasons for this, but the most important one, to me, is that a body isn’t really anything without a soul.
