Waives of Liberation with guest, Sarah Leslie

Episode 68 Sarah talks about her journey of going along and doing the right thing. She strived to do good and to do things the right way. Then, to her surprise, she found herself getting a divorce and this is one of the things she was afraid would happen. She did not want her life to turn out like everyone else’s, after all, she was doing all the right things, so it shouldn’t. Then she tells us about her real wakeup call when she found herself divorced. It was sad, depressing, and a little embarrassing and yet, at the same time, she felt more relieved more freedom. more release of pressure than what had been there for 30 years. She thought, “you’ve now done the worst thing you could do; the rest should be easy going from here. After all this intense release of the pressure happened and I’m still ok, everything is good.” This set a trend, she realized that she built things up to be the absolute worst ever and actually they are not. She can recover, bounce back, and she learned that she could actually be better after the fact. And then it happened again. In a position of importance where she was successful, and things were going really well. And she found herself living half asleep, numb, unhappy and going through the motions of work continued. She held on tightly to this job, as is was the known, even though she knew the other side of this was a really good thing. Life was not unfolding in a way that was honoring to her. In her holding on, she was living in limbo. Making a change would throw her also into limbo. During yoga, she broke out sobbing for almost a whole 2-minutes. Releasing pressure and accepting that she was holding onto something she could not control.
