In this special solo reflection, Mary Black asks a question that goes far beyond patriotism:
👉 Are the choices you’re making today leading you toward greater freedom—or greater bondage?
As the U.S. celebrates its Independence Day, Mary invites us to explore what freedom truly means on a personal level—emotionally, financially, spiritually, and physically.
This short but potent episode is a wake-up call for anyone who:
- Wants to live more intentionally
- Feels stuck or at the mercy of their circumstances
- Struggles with “easy” decisions that slowly chip away at long-term freedom
- Believes that true independence starts with everyday choices
Mary reflects on:
- How the foundation of free enterprise can still empower us
- The difference between momentary comfort and lasting freedom
- Why self-leadership is the root of authentic independence
- How even our dinner plate can be an act of liberation
🎧 Tune in and ask yourself: Are my choices building the future I want—or keeping me bound to the past I’m trying to outgrow?
