When Self-Improvement Becomes Self-Abandonment

from Free Spirit Academy Podcast · host Rande Moss

In this solo episode, I’m sharing some of my own story: like years of rigid routines, juice fasts, and trying to follow every “right” ritual to become someone who finally felt free, healed, and whole. But what I found was that all the "being good" didn’t actually leave me feeling at home in myself.You'll hear me talk about: - How "self-improvement" can sometimes be a subtle form of self-rejection - Why rushing or “shoulds” on our healing or growth path tends to keep us looping - The difference between trying to fix ourselves vs. tending to ourselves I’ll also share a bit about my new mini program, Rituals for a Free Spirit - a no-fluff collection of short, supportive practices to help you come back to yourself in real-life moments of overwhelm, anxiety, or disconnection. It's $19, simple, and there when you need it.Sign up to hear when Rituals for a Free Spirit is released (and get a free practice!)Links:Work with RandeFree Spirit Academy on Instagram
