In this episode...I reflect on the belief that there’s a “right way” to live our lives, and how liberating it can be to let go of that idea. This episode explores the freedom that comes from trusting yourself and making choices based on what feels good rather than some imagined external standard.Links:* Find me on YouTube (@linneasigurdson)* Support the podcast by sharing with a friend, subscribing, or leaving a review on Apple PodcastsFind my music:Listen to “Awareness” and all my released songs wherever you get your musicAbout Awareness Season: Join artist Linnea Sigurdson for stories about choosing yourself through creative expression.

In this episode...I’m sharing how the question “What do you love?” feels way more freeing to me than “Who are you?” Through sharing some of the things I love - from freshly made beds to Italian gelato to physical challenges - I invite you to consider what brings you joy and that extra spark in life. And who knows :) it might say more about who you are than any other question.Links:* Find me on YouTube (@linneasigurdson)* Support the podcast by sharing with a friend, subscribing, or leaving a review on Apple PodcastsFind my music:Listen to “Awareness” and all my released songs wherever you get your musicAbout Awareness Season: Join artist Linnea Sigurdson for stories about choosing yourself through creative expression.
