The Freedom Series on The Becoming Limitless Podcast
A collection of episodes on financial independence, freedom & vision.
The nerves were bubbling.
Just hit publish.
Andddd it’s live.
On April 4, 2023 I added a new type of episode to my podcast and it was a topic I’ve never talked about before.
Financial freedom, investing and big, bold moves.
I had no idea this would turn into a multi part series on my podcast that would consistently pull in some of my highest download numbers.
The series ended up becoming The Freedom Series on my podcast, Becoming Limitless.
Originally, my podcast was designed to share health optimization biohacks to 6&7 figure entrepreneurs but has now grown to include conversation around freedom and finance.
I’m over 140 episodes into this show and past 36,000 downloads and it is something I still continue to do because it’s so much fun.
The Freedom Series I’m sharing today is a collection of personal episodes where I share some of my biggest aha moments and lessons on this adventure we’ve been on over the past years.
They are great to listen to in the car, while folding laundry or out on a walk.
So if you love this blog, then you are going to love this series of podcast episodes.
Let’s jump in.

Tune in for an honest look at financial freedom and a fresh perspective on living life fully, today.
Ep #100 When Is Enough, Enough? with Rob Murgatroyd
Do you ever feel trapped on a never-ending treadmill? The harder I work on my business goals, the less time I have for life, hobbies, family, and health. Does success ever feel like it’s costing me happiness or fulfillment? If you’re nodding along, then join me in today’s episode with guest Rob Murgatroyd.

I introduce my 3-level life concept—from minimalist to luxury—and reveal how my dream life actually requires far less income and work than typical online business gurus say you need. Join me as I explore what "enough" means, challenging the idea that more is always better, and helping you find your own path to fulfillment.
Ep #109 Tangible Freedom
What kind of freedom truly drives you—time, location, or financial? In this episode, I share my personal and entrepreneurial journey, chasing milestones but feeling something essential was missing.
From working as a gym trainer to becoming a six-figure online consultant and planning a family trip abroad, I discovered that my pursuit was really about emotional freedom.

In this episode, I share my biggest shifts, what it's like to work and travel with our young family of four, and our plans for world schooling our kids.
