Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you!

Welcome to episode 21 of the Woman Uncaged Podcast!

We discuss:

- Linda shares how she has started bringing the energy of work into so many areas of her life (working on ourselves, our bodies, our pets, our kids, our relationships...so much work!)
- How a desired end state that we are trying to engineer our way towards can infuse life with that work energy
- How work can be addictive even when it leads to burnout and exhaustion
- Allowing play to spontaneously emerge from boredom
- How the drive to treat everything like work is both an inner cage and outer cage
- Wanting others to see us as hard workers
- Feeling like our time and money don't belong to us and how that restricts our sense of agency
- Our implicit expectations of life when we've been doing everything "right"
- Laura shares the Comfy Chair Exercise by Michael Neill and how she used it in her own life
- How the energy of work blocks not only play, but also intuition, connection, magic, and synchronicity

Resources Mentioned:
The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron
Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life by James Hollis

As always, we'd love it if you would share your thoughts about this episode with us. You can email us at  womanuncagedpodcast@gmail.com.
