This is a YouTube podcast episode (The Awaken Podcast #99) featuring Trish Leichty in a reflective monologue about personal growth and self-discovery. In the excerpt she emphasizes that she offers no prescriptive "how-to" steps but shares her story of finding permission to ask questions, choose a different path (including marriage), and give herself freedom — with the hope others will do the same.
There is nothing I offer in how tos and this way and five steps to, you know, it's. This is a story where I found I had permission to ask all the questions and go on my own journey of discovery. And you do, too. And it's all in you to find. Like, I'm saying it out loud because we have to hear it sometimes before we can receive it for ourselves. And so that was my story. When the women said, I chose to do marriage different, I chose to do this different. I was like, I can do it, too. I just needed that. And then I gave it to myself. And that is my hope, is that we all can find the permission to give ourselves, to get free from all the ways and just find our way.
