40. 21 Reasons You Haven’t Fully Bloomed (Yet)

from LIBERATED · host Leslie Medley

Welcome back to LIBERATED: The Podcast! Today’s episode is a cozy solocast with me, Leslie Medley—Embodiment Coach, Beathwork Facilitator, Worldwide Speaker and your guide on this wild and liberating journey of awakening. 🌸 This one is all about coming into full bloom. Owning who the EFF you are. Fully expressed. Fully YOU! And also looking at the sneaky ways we stop ourselves from blooming. I recently shared a post on Instagram with 21 reasons why you might be holding yourself back from fully blooming, and it struck a chord. So in this episode, I’m reading you the list, inviting you to notice which ones land in your body, and diving deeper into a few of the biggest blocks—especially the #1 reason that keeps women from blooming: fear of what you might lose. ✨ What you’ll hear in this episode: Why awareness of your patterns is the first step to transformation. The difference between thinking your way forward vs. embodying the work. How to use your body’s sensations (gut hits, throat tightness, heart flutters) to find your next step. A deeper dive into reason #21: the hidden fear of loss beneath rejection, being misunderstood, or stepping into your next-level leadership. Practical journal prompts + embodiment invitations to start shifting today. ✨ Resources & Links Mentioned: Follow me on Instagram to see the original post with the full list of 21 reasons. Free Resource: Somatic Practice for Releasing — a guided breathwork, tapping, and journaling practice. Grab the BLOOM Bundle — my embodiment toolkit designed to help you move through every one of these 21 reasons and finally come into full bloom. Celebration sale happening now—$300 off (limited time)! (Send me a message on IG for the current coupon code!!) ✨ Your Invitation: As you listen, grab a notebook and jot down which of the 21 reasons resonate most with you. Then send me a DM on Instagram—I’d love to hear which ones landed. Because here’s the truth: it’s not a matter of if you’ll bloom. It’s only a matter of when. 🌼 Let’s liberate together.

Imagine an academy deeply rooted and committed to the classical liberal arts, stocked to the brim with well-known, world-class faculty, and universally accessible. Now imagine it being completely affordable, even free. This was the vision of St. Albert the Great, father of classical education: an education that is at once freeing and free. A true and human liberation has always been the promise of an education in the liberal arts. Indeed, for the better part of the last 3,000 years, it was no mystery where one could learn how to cast off the shackles of the world and what to study to achieve that liberated state. In no uncertain terms, the classical liberal arts undoubtedly served as the intellectual foundation of Western Civilization.  However, we are no longer a society of free men. The tradition of the liberal arts was left behind in favor of a more “practical” alternative.
