What happens when you stop hiding the parts of yourself you’ve been trained to suppress?
I spent 13 months finding out. And I’m not the same person who left.
There’s a version of you that exists beneath the performance. Beneath the productivity. Beneath the persona you’ve perfected for survival. I found mine during my time away from the microphone. And now I’m back—not polished, but present. Not perfect, but alive. More than ever, I am experiencing myself as truly ALLOWED.
This personal transformation podcast isn’t about self-improvement. It’s about self-liberation and spiritual awakening. We’re dismantling the narratives that keep us small, polite, and palatable.
If you invite this show into your life, expect:
Here, we are souls having a human experience. We are grappling with shades of grey, paradoxes, mysteries, and multidimensionality. We love questions, and we question answers. We are skeptical of gurus and also of skeptics. We know we are here for mutual transformation— digging together toward what’s true, even when it’s uncomfortable.
This season, you’re not just listening. You’re participating. Your questions shape our conversations. Your stories matter as much as mine. Allowed is our campfire for collective wisdom-building, not one-way transmission.
Your turn: What truth are you ready to stop hiding? What freedom are you actually afraid of? What are you keeping secret that’s costing you your aliveness? What does it feel like when the truth comes out? Send me your secrets, questions, discoveries and confessions at AllowedPodcast.com. Some of you will join me live on air.
Let’s remember ourselves together. The rebellion starts now.
