ADVICE

Lean Into The Slightly Uncomfortable Edge

Lean into the edge of your comfort zone; growth happens there.
Bodhi Aldridge says this expands your capacity as a leader, husband, and father.

INSIGHT

You Are The Author Of Meaning

Realize the world is meaningless until you give it meaning.
Change your stories to change your habits and therefore your experience.

INSIGHT

Triggers Are Your Fastest Teacher

Notice where you get triggered; it reveals the meaning you've given the world.
Use triggers as a speed-dial to self-awareness, says Bodhi Aldridge.

In this final episode of SEASON 3 of the True Freedom Podcast, Bodhi and Richard complete their exploration of 'True Freedom'. This episode is all about the concept of INTEGRATION. The episode includes discussions around:

- why integration is the bridge between knowledge and transformation
- the real reason most men stay stuck—intellectual understanding without application
- how to expand your comfort zone through embodied, slightly uncomfortable action
- the surprising power of triggers as speed-dials to self-awareness
- why true freedom starts with radical responsibility and ends with love
- how meaning-making shapes your reality—and how to reclaim your authorship
- simple tools to help you shift state in real-time (acknowledge, experience, choose)
- the one question that defines your path: Am I a passenger or a participant in my life?

The True Freedom podcast is for male leaders as they navigate the journey of what it means to be a man with worldy responsibilities – marriage, mortgage, business, leadership positions and kids.

The podcast will explore our relationships with the external world… including the primary relationship with our beloved; our relationships with our children as a parent; with our career and purpose; with money; with leadership; with others and, most importantly, the relationship we have with ourselves.
