Episode 27: Unmake your box: The path to personal freedom, A SEAT WITH... Veronica
In today’s conversation, we sit down with Veronica Louis. Discover how to break free from the limitations that hold you back and embrace your true self.
In a world full of expectations and limitations, many of us struggle to find our true selves. The concept of "unmaking your box" invites us to challenge these constraints and embrace a path towards personal freedom. This journey, as described by Veronica, involves recognising the mental and societal boxes that confine us, understanding their origins, and taking action to transform our lives. Once we accept that we have been placed in a box, we can begin to deconstruct those limitations, challenging the narrative we have been conditioned to believe about ourselves .
Explore Veronica’s transformative concept of "unmaking your box" and learn how it can lead to personal freedom. Our beautiful conversation delves into understanding the boxes that society creates and how we can begin to dismantle them. Veronica shares her key insights, including recognising your internalised limitations, embracing creativity, and the importance of community in the journey of self-exploration. Gain practical tools to create your own adventure and empower yourself to live authentically. It was a true pleasure to site down with Veronica for this conversation, as well as attending her workshop (which I highly recommend!).
So come and take,
A Seat With… Veronica 💛
